| Research Abstract |
Preparations and morphological studies have been done on the large number, more than 800, of Middle Miocene hominoid fossils including two almost complete skeletons, which excavated at Nachola region in northern Kenya, East Africa. Based on the studies, it have been designed that a common ancestor of human and extant great apes might not have specialized to a brachiation, but still arboreal quadrupedal climbers whose main foods was hard nuts.
