Kenyanthropus occurs as imaginable hominid genus according to some paleoanthropologists. the genus is according to a discovery around republic of kenya of Trinity.Five million season old fossils of the hominid, which experienced the flat face & additional anthropomorphic dentition based on data from Meave Leakey.

A Kenyanthropus genus presently contains single K. platyops (a discovery Meave Leakey's team mass produced) & even One thousand. rudolfensis, based on data from a select few paleoanthropologists.

But, a bit of paleoanthropologists come sceptical that Kenyanthropus occurs as distinct genus, & hypothesize that these are upright the distorted Australopithecine.
