The first thing I feel the need to mention is the fact that the Paranthropus species are often referred to as the Robust Australopithecines, this has to do with the fact that they are incredibly ...

Paranthropus robustus, often referred to as Australopithecus robustus, coexisted with early members of the genus Homo, including Homo ergaster, an early human ancestor.

On the relationship between maxillary molar root shape and jaw kinematics in Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus. Royal Society Open Science, 2018; 5: 180825 DOI: 10.1098/rsos.180825 ...

Analysis of ancient proteins preserved in fossilized tooth enamel reveals insights into the elusive nature of Paranthropus robustus, researchers report. The findings, which challenge long-held ...

Both Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus were part of a line of close human relatives known as australopithecines that included the Ethiopian fossil, Lucy, estimated to be some 3. ...

Hominids lived at these two locations from 1.8 million to 1 million years ago. Both sites contain remains of early Homo and Australopithecus robustus, a small-brained, large-jawed hominid.

Based on existing evidence, Australopithecus robustus and/or Homo erectus, the ancestors of modern humans (Homo sapiens), made campfires roughly 1.6 million years ago in South Africa.

What we found was unexpected. The uniform pitting appears regularly in both eastern and southern Africa Paranthropus, and also in the earliest eastern African Australopithecus teeth dating back around ...

The team sampled minute amounts from nearly 40 fossilised teeth of our South African fossil relatives, early Homo, Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus.

CT scans of fossil skull fragments may help researchers settle a long-standing debate about the evolution of Africa's Australopithecus, a key ancestor of modern humans that died out some 1.4 ...

If confirmed, the findings would be the oldest known Paranthropus robustus, as well as the oldest known Homo erectus, nudging out the next oldest known specimen by 150,000 to 200,000 years.
