Ardipithecusn.

Brit.

/ˌɑːdᵻˈpɪθᵻkəs/, U.S.

/ˌɑrdɪˈpɪθᵻkəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Ardipithecus.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Ardipithecus, genus name (T. D. White et al. 1995: see quot. 1995) < Afar ardi , variant of ard earth, ground, floor ( < Arabic ˀarḍ ) + scientific Latin -pithecus (fossil) ape (see Pliopithecus n.), after scientific Latin Australopithecus Australopithecus n. Compare earlier ramidus n.

Palaeontology.

Either of two extinct hominids of the genus Ardipithecus, known from late Miocene and early Pliocene fossil remains found in the Afar region of Ethiopia, and dated to about 4.4 and 5.6 million years ago respectively. Also: the genus itself.Originally placed in the genus Australopithecus, Ardipithecus is regarded by many as the earliest bipedal hominin (cf. Orrorin n.). The most complete skeleton of A. ramidus has been nicknamed ‘Ardi’.

1995 T. D. White et al. in Nature 4 May 88 We hereby make available a new generic nomen for the Aramis fossils described in our article... Ardipithecus gen. nov... ‘Ardi’ means ‘ground or floor’ in the Afar language.

2006 A. Gibbons First Human xvi. 234 A key question that White and others are asking of this skeleton..is whether the anatomy for upright walking was already fully assembled in Ardipithecus at 4.4 million years.

2009 I. Tattersall Fossil Trail (ed. 2) xviii. 253 The upper canine [of Orrorin]..was quite similar to specimens ascribed to Ardipithecus.
