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 ...

Enamel proteins reveal biological sex and genetic variability within southern African Paranthropus

, 2023
The evolutionary relationships among extinct African hominin taxa are highly debated and largely unresolved, due in part to a lack of molecular data. Even within taxa, it is not always clear, based on morphology alone, whether ranges of variation are due

MiCoTaph. Fossil Micromammals from Cooper’s Cave (Lower Pleistocene, South Africa): contribution to a better knowledge of the taphonomic and environmental context of Paranthropus robustus occupations.

, 2019
International audienceThe simultaneous presence of several hominin species in South Africa during the Plio-Pleistocene, especially the first representatives of the genus Homo, Paranthropus and possibly late surviving Australopithecines, makes it ...

Macromammalian faunas, biochronology and palaeoecology of the early Pleistocene Main Quarry hominin-bearing deposits of the Drimolen Palaeocave System, South Africa [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
The Drimolen Palaeocave System Main Quarry deposits (DMQ) are some of the most prolific hominin and primate-bearing deposits in the Fossil Hominids of South Africa UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discovered in the 1990s, excavations into the DMQ have yielded

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

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).

Fossil Bovidae from the Hominini-bearing site of Cooper's D (Bloubank Valley, South Africa): implications for Paranthropus robustus Broom, 1938 and early Homo Linnaeus, 1758 habitat preferences

, 2022
The Cooper’s D deposit has been dated by U-Pb at a maximum age of 1.37 Ma ± 0.113 and has yielded seven Hominini remains, six of them are attributed to the Southern African endemic species Paranthropus robustus Broom, 1938.

Fig. S4 from On the relationship between maxillary molar root shape and jaw kinematics in Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus

, 2018
Reconstructed maxillary first molars of Australopithecus africanus (TM 1512) and Paranthropus robustus (SK 17) in mesial (A, C) and latero-occlusal (B, D) views showing distinct mesowear patterns in the two taxa.

Dental Microwear Textures of Paranthropus robustus from Kromdraai, Drimolen, and an Enlarged Sample from Swartkrans: Ecological and Intraspecific Variation [PDF]

, 2017
The original microwear texture baseline for South African hominins was done by Scott et al. (2005) and concluded that Paranthropus robustus exhibited higher complexity values (Asfc) that are seen in occasional hard object feeders.

South African Journal of Science
Classic depictions of human evolutionary ecology cast Homo as predator and other hominins, including Paranthropus robustus, as prey. Such hypotheses rest on a small number of fossils that exhibit evidence of carnivore predation, including the iconic SK ...

Premolar root and canal variation in South African Plio-Pleistocene specimens attributed to Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus [PDF]

, 2016
South African hominin fossils attributed to Australopithecus africanus derive from the cave sites of Makapansgat, Sterkfontein, and Taung, from deposits dated between about 2 and 3 million years ago (Ma), while Paranthropus robustus is known from ...
