Chororapithecus abyssinicus in brief
Since Anthropology.net has been getting all the lovin’ recently, I figure I’d post an introduction to the controversy surrounding a new paleoanthropological find from Suwa et al. and their new gorilla like Miocene great ape over at our sister blog, Primatology.net.
Please, jump on over there and chime in what you think of this study.
I stuck a comment at this site where I suggest how the remains could be ancestral gorilla and still be compatible with mtDNA evidence showing the final split to be more recent:

Any comments? Disagreements?

Was Chororapithecus abyssinicus the size of a modern gorilla?
