Fig. 3

Composite representation of the upper and lower dentition of Kenyapithecus wickeri (KNM-FT 46a/b and FT 45). The “sectioned” cheekbone in the upper right-hand corner of the figure shows the relatively high placement of this bone relative to the rest of the face, a feature shared with modern apes. Only one postcranial bone can be attributed to Kenyapithecus (in the strictest sense), but partial skeletons of Equatorius and Nacholapithecus are thought by some to be closely related to or even part of this genus.
