Forty-six specimens of a large Miocene hominoid, Afropithecus turkanensis, recently recovered from northern Kenya preserve many morphological details that are described. The specimens include cranial, mandibular, and postcranial parts. They are compared briefly with other Miocene hominoids. It is suggested that Afropithecus may have affinities with Heliopithecus, Kenyapithecus, and the large hominoid from Moroto and Napak, although it is noted that the comparative material is limited in the number of common anatomical parts preserved.
最近从肯尼亚北部发现的46个中新世大型类人猿——图尔卡纳非洲猿标本保留了许多已被描述的形态学细节。这些标本包括颅骨、下颌骨和颅后部分。它们与其他中新世类人猿进行了简要比较。研究表明，非洲猿可能与日猿、肯尼亚猿以及来自莫罗托和纳帕克的大型类人猿有亲缘关系，不过需要指出的是，用于比较的材料中保存的共同解剖部位数量有限。
