Ouranopithecus

Ouranopithecus is a genus of extinct Eurasian great ape represented by two species, "Ouranopithecus macedoniensis", a late Miocene (9.6–8.7 mya) hominoid from Greece and "Ouranopithecus turkae", also from the late Miocene (8.7–7.4 mya) of Turkey.
Systematics.
Based on "O. macedoniensis"' dental and facial anatomy, it has been suggested that "Ouranopithecus" was actually a dryopithecine. However, it is probably more closely related to the Ponginae. Some researchers consider "O. macedoniensis" to be the last common ancestor of humans(hominini) and the other apes, and a forerunner to australopithecines and humans, although this is very controversial and not widely accepted. It is true that "O. macedoniensis" shares derived features with some early hominins (such as the frontal sinus, a cavity in the forehead), but they are almost certainly not closely related species. It has been suggested that it may be a synonym of "Graecopithecus freybergi", although there is not enough data to support the synonymy.
