New mandible of Paranthropus robustus from Member 1, Swartkrans Formation, South Africa
Journal of Human Evolution, 1993Abstract A new mandible of Paranthropus robustus from the Member 1 "Hanging Remnant" breccia of Swartkrans is described. The specimen (SKW 5) possesses a nearly complete postcanine dentition; both corpora and much of the left ramus are well-preserved. It is one of the most complete, undistorted P. robustus mandibles known.

Reassessment of the TM 1517 odonto‐postcranial assemblage from Kromdraai B, South Africa, and the maturational pattern of Paranthropus robustus [PDF]
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2020 Objectives The Pleistocene taxon Paranthropus robustus was established in 1938 following the discovery at Kromdraai B, South Africa, of the partial cranium TM 1517a and associated mandible TM 1517b.

The importance of diet in primate ecology has motivated the use of a variety of methods to reconstruct dietary habits of extinct hominin taxa. Dental microwear is one such approach that preserves evidence from consumed food items. This study is based on 44 specimens of Australopithecus africanus from Makapansgat and Sterkfontein, and 66 specimens of ...

Reconstruction of the locomotor repertoire of the australopiths (Australopithecus and Paranthropus) has progressively integrated information from the mechanosensitive internal structure of the appendicular skeleton. Recent investigations showed that the arrangement of the trabecular network at the femoral head center is biomechanically compatible with ...

An Ankle-Bone of the Ape-Man, Paranthropus robustus
Nature, 1943EVERY addition to our knowledge of the structure of the ape-men of South Africa is likely to be welcomed even though the addition may appear to be a very small one. The Taungs ape, and those discovered at Sterkfontein and Kromdraai, have revealed a group of higher Primates which are very much nearer to man than any living anthropoids, or any of the ...

Radius of Paranthropus robustus from member 1, Swartkrans Formation, South Africa
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1991AbstractRecently recovered hominid postcrania from Member 1, Swartkrans Formation include the proximal and distal ends of a right radius attributed to a single individual of Paranthropus robustus. These fossils are essentially similar to Australopithecus afarensis, A. africanus, and P. boisei homologues.

New first metatarsal (SKX 5017) from Swartkrans and the gait of Paranthropus robustus
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1988AbstractA new, complete hallucal metatarsal (SKX 5017) was recovered from the “lower bank” of Member 1 at Swartkrans (ca. 1.8 m.y. BP). The new metatarsal is attributed to Paranthropus robustus, the predominant hominid found in Member 1 (>95% of hominid individuals). SKX 5017 is similar to Olduvai Hominid 8‐H from bed I, Olduvai (ca. 1.76 m.y.

Microbiological degradation is one of the most important factors responsible for the destruction of bone in archaeological contexts. Microscopic focal destruction (MFD) is the most prevalent form of microbial tunneling and is encountered very commonly in human bones from archaeological sites, whereas animal bones from these same sites show ...
