Remarks

Originally described as Australopithecus ramidus White, Suwa & Asfaw 1994, then updated to Ardipithecus ramidus in a one-page corrigendum in White, Suwa & Asfaw 1995. Kissel and Hawks (2015) sugget that the Tabarin mandible, KNM-TH 13150 may be part of the same hypodigm as ARA-VP-6/1 in which case the nomen Homo praegens Ferguson, 1989 or Afaranthropus praegens (Ferguson, 1989) Bonde, 2011 would have priority.
