Scientists identified a new species of great ape, Buronius manfredschmidi, from 11-million-year-old fossil remains in Bavaria, shedding light on the evolution of great apes in Europe.
Buronius manfredschmidi is notably smaller than other known great apes, comparable in size to a human toddler, marking a unique find in the study of primate evolution.
This discovery provides crucial insights into the diversity and adaptation of great apes during the Miocene era, enhancing our understanding of primate history and evolution.
