==Species names==
I changed the species names to the ones used by Jay Kelley in ''The Primate Fossil Record'' (2002). Ouranopithecus and Kenyapithecus are names of genera. Ramapithecus is also a (now apparently obsolete) genus name. --[[User:Cam|Cam]] 05:33, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

==Merging Ramapithecus==
I agree with the merger. As I say above, Ramapithecus seems to be an obsolete name (in the technical sense).

Also, it appears that some of the information in the article on Ramapithecus was taken from creationist sources such as [[Duane Gish]], who have an definite NPOV axe to grind. --[[User:Cam|Cam]] 07:58, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

:Oops, I meant, of course, a POV axe to grind. --[[User:Cam|Cam]] 08:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

== broken link ==
The photo link does not work. I will try and find it for you.

== Added more on Ramapithicus ==
Older books will call it a human ancestor, so it is worth giving a detailed explanation of why this is no longer believed. Also for the reasons why this was a reasonable belief at the time, because 'Creationists' take advantage of any ambiguity.

== Kenyapithecus ==
The book I used claimed that Kenyapithecus was the same as Ramapithecus, but there is also an article with good sources ([[Kenyapithecus wickeri]]) saying that the two are separate. I will remove that portion of the account of Ramapithicus. But someone who knows more about the subject should clear the matter up. --[[User:GwydionM|GwydionM]] 17:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

== Nakalipithecus nakayamai ==
The article suggested there was no candidate for the human/chimp/gorilla ancestor. Since the references all appeared to predate the discovery of Nakalipithecus nakayamai, I added a link to the page for this species as support for the current Hominidae phylogeny. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/108.7.51.210|108.7.51.210]] ([[User talk:108.7.51.210|talk]]) 03:28, 19 June 2010 (UTC)</span> 

== Indicus or sivalensis picture ==

These pictures appear to show the same specimen or casts of it, but with different species names.[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sivapithecus_sivalensis.JPG][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sivapithecus.jpg] What is going on?
