Kenyapithecus wickeri is a fossil ape discovered by Louis Leakey in 1961 at a site called Fort Ternan in Kenya. The upper jaw and teeth were dated to 14 million years ago. [ 2 ] One theory states that Kenyapithecus may be the common ancestor of all the great apes .
Kenyanthropus is a genus of extinct hominin identified from the Lomekwi site by Lake Turkana, Kenya, dated to 3.3 to 3.2 million years ago during the Middle Pliocene.It contains one species, K. platyops, but may also include the 2 million year old Homo rudolfensis, or K. rudolfensis.

[1] The notion of 'indigenous' is of necessity a blurred concept, and is clearly a function of both time and political boundaries.

Danuvius guggenmosi is an extinct species of great ape that lived 11.6 million years ago during the Middle–Late Miocene in southern Germany. It is the sole member of the genus Danuvius. The area at this time was probably a woodland with a seasonal climate. A male specimen was estimated to have weighed about 31 kg (68 lb), and two females 17 ...
