Ugandapithecus major Le Gros Clark & Leakey, 1950 Proconsul major, an extinct primate of the genus Proconsul, was possibly the ancestor of Afropithecus and showed hominid characteristics.

[3] Proconsul major lived on the continent of Africa in the region around Moroto, Uganda.

A nearly complete fossilized P. major skull estimated to be 20 million years old was found at the Napak XV site near Iriri on the slope of the extinct Napak Volcano in July 2011 by a team led by Martin Pickford and Brigitte Senut.

[4][5] After a year of cleaning, documentation and reconstruction in Paris, the skull fragments are now on display in the Uganda Museum in Kampala.

[6] Previously, only smaller pieces of younger fossils had been found at Napak and at the Moroto I site near Loitakero.
