The extinction of Miocene apes was primarily driven by a combination of climate change and habitat loss. During the late Miocene, significant global cooling and aridification led to the transformation of lush forests into more open savanna environments, reducing the habitat suitable for these apes. Additionally, competition with emerging hominins and other primate species for resources may have further contributed to their decline. These factors combined led to the eventual extinction of many Miocene ape species.
