=== ''Orrorin praegens'' ===

''A.'' cf. ''ramidus''), ''"Ardipithecus" praegens'' or ''"[[Australopithecus|Praeanthropus]]" praegens''.

Several referred remains of ''O. praegens'' were collected between 2005 and 2011 by the Franco-Kenyan Kenya Palaeontology Expedition and they, alongside the Tabarin mandible, were classified by [[Martin Pickford|Pickford]] ''et al.'' (2022) as being separate from ''[[Homo]]'', so they were classified within ''Orrorin'' as ''O. praegens''.<ref name=":0" />
