Divergent otolithic systems in the inner ear of Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus

open access: yesJournal of Human Evolution
The bony labyrinth of the inner ear houses the sensory end-organs responsible for balance (otolithic system in the utricle and saccule, and semicircular canal system) and hearing (cochlea). Study of the bony labyrinth has revealed considerable morphological diversity in the hominin lineage (semicircular canals and cochleae) and aided in reconstructing ...

Strontium isotopic aspects of Paranthropus robustus teeth; implications for habitat, residence, and growth

open access: yesJournal of Human Evolution, 2018
The strontium isotopic ratio 87Sr/86Sr has been studied in the Sterkfontein Valley of South Africa to infer both habitat usage and residence for a number of early hominins. This paper examines the existing 87Sr/86Sr data collectively derived from three studies of Paranthropus robustus teeth with the aim of exploring whether the dataset as a whole may ...

Incisor size and wear in Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus

Journal of Human Evolution, 1991
Abstract Comparisons based upon recent body size estimates indicate that the maxillary central incisors of Paranthropus robustus are relatively smaller than those of Australopithecus africanus. The MD diameters of A. africanus incisors are similar to expected values for a large-bodied catarrhine. The P.

Enamel-dentine junction (EDJ) morphology distinguishes the lower molars of Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus

open access: yesJournal of Human Evolution, 2008
Tooth crown morphology plays a central role in hominin systematics, but the removal of the original outer enamel surface by dental attrition often eliminates from consideration the type of detailed crown morphology that has been shown to discriminate among hominin taxa. This reduces the size of samples available for study.

Protostylid expression at the enamel-dentine junction and enamel surface of mandibular molars of Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus

open access: yesJournal of Human Evolution, 2009
Distinctive expressions and incidences of discrete dental traits at the outer enamel surface (OES) contribute to the diagnoses of many early hominin taxa. Examination of the enamel-dentine junction (EDJ), imaged non-destructively using micro-computed tomography, has elucidated the morphological development of dental traits and improved interpretations ...

Geochemical chronologies in Paranthropus robustus teeth inform habitat and life histories

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution
Radiogenic strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) and the alkaline earth ratios (AERs) Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca in fossil dental enamel can inform the habitat, residence and life histories of early hominins recovered from the Pleistocene cradle-of-humankind sites of Gauteng, South Africa.
