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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Divergent otolithic systems in the inner ear of Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus
Journal of Human EvolutionThe 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 ...

Carious lesions on the mesial and distal aspects of a RM1 of a young adult 'robust' australopithecine. Paranthropus robustus, are described. The specimen is from Member 1 sediments of the Swartkrans cave, which are dated to between about 1.8 and 1.5 million years before present. The mesial lesion, located cervically, had progressed further than the two

Since the initial discovery of Paranthropus robustus at the site of Kromdraai in 1938, the hypodigm of this species has been expanded by subsequent work at the localities of Swartkrans and Drimolen, with a few fossils also known from Cooper's D, Gondolin and Sterkfontein Member 5. Beginning in 2014, systematic excavations at Kromdraai uncovered a large

Hand of Paranthropus robustus from Member 1, Swartkrans: Fossil Evidence for Tool Behavior
Science, 1988New hand fossils from Swartkrans (dated at about 1.8 million years ago) indicate that the hand of Paranthropus robustus was adapted for precision grasping. Functional morphology suggests that Paranthropus could have used tools, possibly for plant procurement and processing.
