[edit] Species names

I changed the species names to the ones used by Jay Kelley in The Primate Fossil Record (2002). Ouranopithecus and Kenyapithecus are names of genera. Ramapithecus is also a (now apparently obsolete) genus name. --Cam 05:33, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Ramapithecus

I agree with the merger. As I say above, Ramapithecus seems to be an obsolete name (in the technical sense).

Also, it appears that some of the information in the article on Ramapithecus was taken from creationist sources such as Duane Gish, who have an definite NPOV axe to grind. --Cam 07:58, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Oops, I meant, of course, a POV axe to grind. --Cam 08:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] broken link

The photo link does not work. I will try and find it for you.
