Premolar root and canal variation in South African Plio-Pleistocene specimens attributed to Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus [PDF]
, 2016 South African hominin fossils attributed to Australopithecus africanus derive from the cave sites of Makapansgat, Sterkfontein, and Taung, from deposits dated between about 2 and 3 million years ago (Ma), while Paranthropus robustus is known from ...

‘Do larger molars and robust jaws in early hominins represent dietary adaptation?’ A New Study in Tooth Wear [PDF]
, 2013 Diet imposes significant constraints on the biology and behaviour of animals. The fossil record suggests that key changes in diet have taken place throughout the course of human evolution.

Tertiary Dentine Frequencies in Extant Great Apes and Fossil Hominins
Open Quaternary, 2019 Tertiary dentine forms when an odontoblast is directly affected by stimuli, commonly through occlusal wear and caries. In this study the presence of tertiary dentine was recorded in three South African fossil hominin species ('Australopithecus africanus,

Divergent otolithic systems in the inner ear of Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus [PDF]
The bony labyrinth of the inner ear houses the sensory end-organs responsible for balance (otolithic system in the utricle and saccule, and semicircular canal system) and hearing (cochlea).

Below the crown: examining interspecies variation in postcanine enamel thickness, EDJ, and root form in the Paranthropus clade. [PDF]
Although there is considerable evidence of shared craniodental morphology within the Paranthropus clade, microwear and isotopic studies suggest that this shared morphology may be linked to different dietary behaviour in eastern and southern Africa ...
