A morphometric analysis of hominin teeth attributed to Australopithecus, Paranthropus and Homo
South African Journal of Science, 2016 Teeth are the most common element in the fossil record and play a critical role in taxonomic assessments. Variability in extant hominoid species is commonly used as a basis to gauge expected ranges of variability in fossil hominin species. In this study,

Hard-object feeding in sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) and interpretation of early hominin feeding ecology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Morphology of the dentofacial complex of early hominins has figured prominently in the inference of their dietary adaptations. Recent theoretical analysis of craniofacial morphology of Australopithecus africanus proposes that skull form in this taxon ...

The Paranthropus face: Examining a developmental model
, 2012 The Paranthropus head is characterized by features traditionally thought to be related to heavy chewing. McCollum [Science 284 (1999): 301-305] proposed that palatal thickening is a response to developmental integration between the mandibular ramus, oral

Chimpanzee subspecies and 'robust' australopithecine holotypes, in the context of comments by Darwin
South African Journal of Science, 2009 On the basis of comparative anatomy (including chimpanzees, gorillas and other primates), Darwin1 suggested that Africa was the continent from which 'progenitors' of humankind evolved. Hominin fossils from this continent proved him correct.
