Size
[edit]If the animal is estimated at 50kg, then it most certainly was not "roughly the size of a gorilla"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.187.251.185 (talk) 04:57, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Proposing merge of Proconsul major and Ugandapithecus major
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result of this discussion was Merge. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:10, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Merge - Either Ugandapithecus major is the junior synonym of Proconsul major, or Ugandapithecus major is the new name for Proconsul major. Either way, they are the same species, and should only have one article. - [Proposed by NessieVL on 12 February 2019]
- Merge both into Proconsul with a discussion of the various taxonomic suggestions that have been made. --Kevmin § 17:31, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
