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 ...
The South African fossil record ranges from early hominins such as Australopithecus prometheus, A. africanus (Taung child), A. sediba and P. robustus, to early members of the genus Homo (H.
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 ...
Initially, we thought the pits might be unique to P. robustus. But our latest research shows this kind of pitting also occurs in other Paranthropus species in eastern Africa. We even found it in some ...
But among southern Africa Australopithecus and our own genus, Homo, the uniform pitting was notably absent. Teeth from Paranthropus robustus skulls found in South African caves provided evidence ...
Uniform, circular, and shallow pitting on two Paranthropus robustus teeth from Drimolen Main Quarry (Journal of Human Evolution) ...
Initially, we thought the pits might be unique to P. robustus. But our latest research shows this kind of pitting also occurs in other Paranthropus species in eastern Africa. We even found it in some ...
Uniform, circular, and shallow pitting on two Paranthropus robustus teeth from Drimolen Main Quarry (Journal of Human Evolution) ...
However, overlapping traits between Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus have raised questions about their potential evolutionary relationship. Moreover, variation in tooth structure ...
