gorilline

adjective

not comparable Similar to, characteristic of, or pertaining to gorillas. If anything, the problem of gorilline origins is greater than that of human origins, for which there is a substantial fossil record stretching back to 4 m.y.ago.

noun gorillines

Any hominid in the proposed subfamily Gorillinae (corresponding to the tribus Gorillini). A very fragmentary canine tooth of a putative "gorilline” was reported by Cecchi and Pickford in 1989 from Nkondo, western Uganda, dating to perhaps 3.5 ma ( see Boaz, 1994 ).
