Merge

There is certainly not enough information unique to each species to justify splitting each one off. As is standard for extinct creatures in this instance, we should split only to genus level. L. hudienensis was already merged. Currently, Lufengpithecus talks about Taxonomy and omits effectively anything else, and L. lufengensis talks about everything except Taxonomy, so that should just be a simple copy/paste over. L. keiyuanensis is a single sentence which can also be copy/pasted over User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:09, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Better to give a comprehensive genus article than several species articles that are essentially forks of each other. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 12:56, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support - one of the species articles is also just a short sentence. FunkMonk (talk) 12:30, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per above. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 04:07, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support - there is an article on a cranium find of L. lufengensis (ZT 299 (Lufengpithecus)) which should be added to the merge request. Jack (talk) 09:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 04:59, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also redirected/minorly merged ZT 299 (Lufengpithecus) to this article as well- it was primarily morphological, location, and age information that should be covered here. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 15:00, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mirage study on Lunfenpithecus vestibular system

At the end of January 2024 many popular science news sites contained an article about a study of the inner ear of Lunfenpithecus conducted at Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in China; these articles are based on a press release from NYU [Did Humans Learn to Walk? New Evolutionary Study Offers an Earful]. "The Innovation" (different from Innovation (journal) is cited as the scientific publication, but this link (at present) is bogus. "The Innovation" is open-source, so if the article can be found there, it may be possible to upload the illustrations (especially the one by Xiaocong Guo/Chinese Academy of Sciences) to Wikimedia; it's not clear from the captions in popular press articles if the illustration shows a conceptual ape, or Lunfenpithecus in particular.
