A probable genetic origin for pitting enamel hypoplasia on the molars of Paranthropus robustus [PDF]

, 2019
We report the frequencies of linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and, specifically, pitting enamel hypoplasia (PEH) defects in the teeth of Paranthropus robustus, for comparison with four other South African hominin species and three extant nonhuman primate ...

Dear Paranthropus, WTF* Did You Eat?

Animals interact the most with their environment when feeding so reconstructing diets of extinct species can provide insight into their ecology and evolution. In the case of humans, *what types of food did our ancient ancestors, like closely related Homo
