Homo rudolfensis (also Australopithecus rudolfensis) is an extinct species of the Hominini tribe known only through a handful of representative fossils, the first of which was discovered by Bernard Ngeneo, a member of a team led by anthropologist Richard Leakey and zoologist Meave Leakey in 1999, at Koobi Fora on the east side of Lake Rudolf (now Lake Turkana) in Kenya.
Thought to have been extinct for 1 million years, there are still large tribes that remain alive on Primeval Island. In fact, they are also one of the most common Primates on the island alongside Smilodectes, Gigantopithecus, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, Homo Habilis, Paranthropus, Pliopithecus and Dinopithecus.
