First early hominin from central Africa (Ishango, Democratic Republic of Congo). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Despite uncontested evidence for fossils belonging to the early hominin genus Australopithecus in East Africa from at least 4.2 million years ago (Ma), and from Chad by 3.5 Ma, thus far there has been no convincing evidence of Australopithecus ...

Paranthropus paradoxes: Patterns of morphological variation in East African 'robust australopithecines' [PDF]

, 2023
The genus Paranthropus represents an iconic taxon in the hominin fossil record. Its early discovery, together with its morphological distinctiveness, have defined this genus as a unique hominin lineage parallel to our own.

Results from an Australopithecus africanus dental enamel fragment confirm the potential of palaeoproteomics for South African Plio-Pleistocene fossil sites

South African Journal of Science
The southern African Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene hominin record is abundant and exhibits a high taxonomic diversity with three genera represented: Australopithecus, Paranthropus and Homo.

Long-term behavioral adaptation of Oldowan toolmakers to resource-constrained environments at 2.3 Ma in the Lower Omo Valley (Ethiopia)

Scientific Reports, 2023
The long stratigraphic sequence of the Shungura Formation in the Lower Omo Valley documents 3 million years (Ma) of hominin evolution, which, when combined with detailed paleo-depositional environmental data, opens new perspectives for understanding the ...

Isotopic Evidence for Dietary Variability in the Early Hominin Paranthropus robustus

, 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.

Dental ontogeny in pliocene and early pleistocene hominins.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Until recently, our understanding of the evolution of human growth and development derived from studies of fossil juveniles that employed extant populations for both age determination and comparison.
