One is to use the evidence of change through time to investigate evolutionary processes. The understanding of such processes is clearly fundamental to the interpretation of both living and past faunas. A second aim is to use similar evidence of change through time to investigate the emergence and diversification of particular lineages, and this can be used both for the better understanding of the groups in question and for the correlation of faunas between sites. Relative time periods may be defined on the basis of certain marker fossils, and these may be taken as representing evolutionary stages throughout a region. The third aim is to use the types of animal represented in a fauna to indicate paleoecology. The community structure of the faunas can be compared with those of extant faunas, providing the basis for the interpretation of ecological change through time and between regions.

We report here the discovery of a fossil hominoid partial skull from the Upper Miocene Sinap Formation1,2 of central Turkey that is the most complete known from the period of 18 to 3 Myr. Our fieldwork places the hominoid locality
