The Feeding Biomechanics and Dietary Ecology of Paranthropus boisei [PDF]

, 2015
The African Plio‐Pleistocene hominins known as australopiths evolved derived craniodental features frequently interpreted as adaptations for feeding on either hard, or compliant/tough foods.

Microtomographic Archive of Hominin Fossils from the Swartkrans Formation, South Africa (1948-1967)

PaleoAnthropology
Since initial excavations in 1948, the site of Swartkrans, located in the ‘Cradle of Humankind,’ South Africa has yielded hundreds of fossil hominin specimens belonging to species of Paranthropus, Homo, and possibly Australopithecus.

Further assessment of a ~2-million-year-old hominin pelvis (DNH 43) from Drimolen Main Quarry, South Africa

South African Journal of Science
The palaeocave site of Drimolen Main Quarry (DMQ) in Gauteng Province, South Africa, has produced fossil hominin material dating to 2.04–1.95 Ma, including craniodental remains attributed to Paranthropus robustus and the earliest specimen of Homo ...

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

The dental enamel proteome of Paranthropus robustus [PDF]

, 2023
International audienceIt has been consistently observed that protein fragments survive beyond the diagenetic limits of DNA, allowing for the recovery of biomolecular information deeper in time, even from temperate and subtropical climates ...

New Additions to the Paranthropus boisei Mandibular Hypodigm from Koobi Fora, Kenya

PaleoAnthropology
After teeth, mandibles and mandibular fragments are the best represented element in the early hominin fossil record. Among these, the mandibular hypodigm of Paranthropus boisei is the largest ascribed to a single early hominin species, counting 39 ...

Testing Dietary Hypotheses of East African Hominines Using Buccal Dental Microwear Data.

PLoS ONE, 2016
There is much debate on the dietary adaptations of the robust hominin lineages during the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition. It has been argued that the shift from C3 to C4 ecosystems in Africa was the main factor responsible for the robust dental and ...
