Chororapithecus is an extinct great ape from the Afar region of Ethiopia roughly 8 million years ago during the Late Miocene, comprising one species, C. abyssinicus. It is known from 9 isolated teeth discovered in a 2005–2007 survey of the . The teeth are indistinguishable from those of gorillas in terms of absolute size and relative proportions, and it has been proposed to be an early member of Gorillini. However, this is controversial given the paucity of remains, and notable anatomical differences between Chororapithecus and gorilla teeth. The Kenyan ape Nakalipithecus has been proposed to be an ancestor of Chororapithecus or at least closely related. If correct, they would be the only identified fossil members of any modern non-human great ape lineage, and would push the gorilla–human

  • Chororapithecus ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Menschenaffen aus dem Miozän, deren Fossilien zwischen 2005 und 2007 im Gebiet des Großen Afrikanischen Grabenbruchs in der Afar-Region in Äthiopien ausgegraben wurden. Chororapithecus wurde von seinen Entdeckern als „überzeugender Kandidat für eine Mitgliedschaft im Taxon der modernen Gorillas“ bezeichnet, das heißt, als der älteste derzeit bekannte Vorfahre der Gorillas.

  • Chororapithecus abyssinicus Chororapithecus abyssinicus Genre † Chororapithecus (d) et al., 2007 Espèce † Chororapithecus abyssinicus (d) et al., 2007 Chororapithecus est un genre éteint de primates de la famille des hominidés, qui a vécu au Miocène supérieur en Afrique de l'Est, il y a environ 8 millions d'années. Il comprend la seule espèce Chororapithecus abyssinicus, décrite en 2007 par l'équipe japonaise qui l'a découverte en 2005 en Éthiopie, avec seulement neuf dents fossiles. Ce genre est considéré par ses découvreurs comme un possible membre de la tribu des Gorillini. (fr)

  • Chororapithecus abyssinicus era um hominídeo que viveu há cerca de 10,5 a 10 milhões de anos, durante o Mioceno, no que é hoje a Etiópia. Pensa-se que seja a primeira espécie de gorilla conhecida. A sua existência indica que o último ancestral comum entre humanos, chimpanzés e gorilas pode ter vivido há 11 a 10 milhões de anos atrás, o que é pelo menos 2 milhões de anos mais cedo do que a data que se pensava anteriormente que era há 8 milhões de anos atrás.
