Diet of Paranthropus boisei in the early Pleistocene of East Africa [PDF]
, 2011 The East African hominin Paranthropus boisei was characterized by a suite of craniodental features that have been widely interpreted as adaptations to a diet that consisted of hard objects that required powerful peak ...

Morphometric (‘log sem’) analysis of anatomical measurements of Galápagos finches (Geospiza), chimpanzees (Pan) and Plio-Pleistocene hominins (Paranthropus, Australopithecus and early Homo) [PDF]
, 2022 Significance:• The ‘log sem’ morphometric method can be shown to be justified in the context of its use in the analysis of anatomical measurements of three sets of data: Galápagos finches (six species of Geospiza); two species of chimpanzees (Pan ...

South African Journal of ScienceClassic depictions of human evolutionary ecology cast Homo as predator and other hominins, including Paranthropus robustus, as prey. Such hypotheses rest on a small number of fossils that exhibit evidence of carnivore predation, including the iconic SK ...

Hominin palaeoecology in Late Pliocene Malawi : first insights from isotopes (13C, 18O) in mammal teeth [PDF]
, 2011 Carbon-13 and oxygen-18 abundances were measured in large mammal skeletal remains (tooth enamel, dentine and bone) from the Chiwondo Beds in Malawi, which were dated by biostratigraphic correlation to ca. 2.5 million years ago.

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 245-270, February 2026.Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...
