Griphopithecus suessi (or Griphopithecus darwini) is a prehistoric species of hominid from the Miocene of Austria and Slovakia,[1] dated to approximately 15 million years ago.[2] G. suessi is based on a single lower molar, with three other isolated teeth and two fragmentary pieces of postcrania referred to it.[3] Austriacopithecus is a synonym.[4]
G. suessi has an estimated mean body weight of 48 kg (106 lb), similar to that observed in the common chimpanzee.[2]
