Genus Astrolepithecus Afarensis and Kenyanthropus

Thank you for your helpful explanation.

From what I have seen, genus Paranthropus, genus Kenyanthropus, and genus Homo, as well as the various species under these genera, are commonly translated with the word إنسان modified by a suitable modifier. Genus Ardipithecus and genus Australopithecus (and their various species), however, are treated in a manner similar to non-human taxonomies.

I must also add that the translation of biological taxonomies into Arabic is not consistent. There are many species and genera that are translated, while the majority are kept in their Latin or Greek form. There is no strict rule. The whole thing seems to be a matter of convenience.

what about Kenyanthropus, it's composed of
Keny: كيني
anthropus: إنسان
I see in many references the word is translated to "إنسان كينيا" or "شبيه البشر".
should we transliterate it to كينيثيروبرس?

I presume you mean "Australopithecus Afarensis," right?

There should be no need to post such terms, as these are Latin or Greek terms that are used in all languages. That is the whole purpose of using Latin or Greek terms in biological taxonomy (both botany and zoology, including paleo-anthropology).
