Isotopic Evidence for Dietary Variability in the Early Hominin Paranthropus robustus [PDF]
Science, 2006 NoTraditional methods of dietary reconstruction do not allow the investigation of dietary variability within the lifetimes of individual hominins. However, laser ablation stable isotope analysis reveals that the ¿13C values of Paranthropus robustus ...

Variation and the evolutionary drivers of diversity in the genus Paranthropus [PDF]
, 2019 Craniodental robusticity in Paranthropus has led many researchers to posit that all the species in this genus share a common adaptation to a diet of hard foods. Recent research on craniodental morphology, microwear, biomechanics, and isotopes, by contrast, has suggested that substantial variation exists within the genus Paranthropus, both in terms of ...

Examining the craniofacial biomechanics of Paranthropus boisei [PDF]
, 2015 An engineering method, finite element analysis (FEA), was used to examine the craniofacial biomechanics of Paranthropus boisei. The craniofacial morphology of Paranthropus boisei exhibits a number of highly derived characteristics that have commonly ...

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews
ABSTRACTRobert Broom, who is best known among vertebrate paleontologists for his research on mammal‐like reptiles, was drawn into paleoanthropology because of his defense of Raymond Dart's interpretation of the Taung infant skull. Our contribution documents Robert Broom's background, his life and career, and how he became directly involved with human ...

Fossil hominin ulnae and the forelimb ofParanthropus
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2007AbstractThe discovery ofPanin the Middle Pleistocene deposits of the Kapthurin Formation of the Tugen Hills (McBrearty and Jablonski: Nature 437 (2005) 105–108) inspires new interest in the search for other chimpanzee fossils in the East African Rift Valley.

Paranthropus boisei: An example of evolutionary stasis?
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1994AbstractOf the presently recognised early hominid species, Paranthropus boisei is one of the better known from the fossil record and arguably the most distinctive; the latter interpretation rests on the numbers of apparently derived characters it incorporates.

The upper limb of Paranthropus boisei from Ileret, Kenya
Journal of Human Evolution, 2020Paranthropus boisei was first described in 1959 based on fossils from the Olduvai Gorge and now includes many fossils from Ethiopia to Malawi. Knowledge about its postcranial anatomy has remained elusive because, until recently, no postcranial remains could be reliably attributed to this taxon.

Patterns of resource use in early Homo and Paranthropus
Journal of Human Evolution, 2004Conventional wisdom concerning the extinction of Paranthropus suggests that these species developed highly derived morphologies as a consequence of specializing on a diet consisting of hard and/or low-quality food items. It goes on to suggest that these species were so specialized or stenotopic that they were unable to adapt to changing environments in

Mandible of a Young Paranthropus Child
Nature, 1941ONE of the difficulties in making comparisons of the Taxings and the Sterkfontein and Kromdraai apes has been that the Taungs ape is only known by the skull of a 4–5-year-old child, while the other apes are only known by adult specimens and a fragment of the jaw of a 10-year-old Sterkfontein ape. Now fortunately we have a little further evidence.
