Griphopithecus

Griphopithecus is a prehistoric ape from the Miocene of Turkey and Central Europe.

Griphopithecus has been consistently grouped with stem hominoids. The material therefore indicates the range of hominoid locomotor anatomy in mid-Miocene Europe, rather than a specifically crown hominoid anatomy.
