Anadoluvius turkae is positioned on the evolutionary tree alongside other fossil apes from nearby regions, such as Ouranopithecus from Greece and Graecopithecus from Bulgaria.

Humans originated in Europe, not Africa, according to fossil discovery
A new fossil discovery, Anadoluvius turkae, suggests human ancestors evolved in Europe, not Africa, challenging traditional theories.

Paleo Fact!

Ouranopithecus (Brave Ape) is an extinct hominid from Late Miocene Europe! It's thought by many to be in the Dryopithecini tribe, which would make it an extra close relative of gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans! However, some place it into Ponginae instead,-(1/2)

Originally described as a species of Ouranopithecus from a very large male palate and teeth, a new partial skull described last year of a young female from the late miocene Çorakyerler fauna of Turkye shows new characters that might distinguish it as its own genus.
