    Fossil apes from the eastern Mediterranean are central to the debate on African ape and human (hominine) origins. Current research places them either as hominines, as hominins (humans and our fossil relatives) or as stem hominids, no more closely related to hominines than to pongines (orangutans and their fossil relatives). Here we show, based on our analysis of a newly identified genus, Anadoluvius, from the 8.7 Ma site of Corakyerler in central Anatolia, that Mediterranean fossil apes are diverse, and are part of the first known radiation of early members of the hominines. The members of this radiation are currently only identified in Europe and Anatolia; generally accepted hominins are only found in Africa from the late Miocene until the Pleistocene. Hominines may have originated in Eurasia during the late Miocene, or they may have dispersed into Eurasia from an unknown African ancestor. The diversity of hominines in Eurasia suggests an in situ origin but does not exclude a dispersal hypothesis.

    Qurliqnoria (Bovidae, Mammalia) from the Upper Miocene of Corakyerler (Central Anatolia, Turkey) and its biogeographic implications
    (Elsevier, 2020) Kostopoulos, Dimitris S.; Sevim Erol, Ayla; Mayda, Serdar; Yavuz, Alper Yener; Tarhan, Erhan
    New bovid material from the Upper Miocene site of corakyerler (Canlun basin, Anatolia, Turkey) is described and compared here. The described taxon is identified as a representative of the stem caprine genus Qurlignoria, previously known from the pen-Tibetan area exclusively. The stronger horn-core divergence, weaker anterior keel, smoother horn-core surface, stronger lateral horn-core curvature, stronger and thicker interfrontal suture, less flexed and less pneumatized frontals, and smaller supraorbital foramina differentiate the corakyerler Qurlignoria from the type and only known species of the genus, Q. cheni from China, and demand the erection of a new species, Qurlignoria chorakensis n. sp. A review of other late Miocene bovid records allows the recognition of Qurlignoria in Sinap Tepe (Turkey) and Platania (Greece), suggesting a westward propagation of the genus during the Vallesian.
