A partial skull of Paranthropus robustus from Cooper's Cave, South Africa. [PDF]

, 2008
A partial hominin skull (COB 101) was identified in the fossil collections of the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, attributed to the Cooper's Cave site in South Africa.

Chimpanzee subspecies and 'robust' australopithecine holotypes, in the context of comments by Darwin

South African Journal of Science, 2009
On the basis of comparative anatomy (including chimpanzees, gorillas and other primates), Darwin1 suggested that Africa was the continent from which 'progenitors' of humankind evolved. Hominin fossils from this continent proved him correct.

The development of chemical approaches to fossil hominin ecology in South Africa

South African Journal of Science
When Dart recognised the fossilised skull of the Taung Child as a hominin ancestor, he also observed that its “sere environment” produced few foods preferred by African apes in equatorial forests.

Hominin palaeoecology in Late Pliocene Malawi : first insights from isotopes (13C, 18O) in mammal teeth

, 2011
Carbon-13 and oxygen-18 abundances were measured in large mammal skeletal remains (tooth enamel, dentine and bone) from the Chiwondo Beds in Malawi, which were dated by biostratigraphic correlation to ca. 2.5 million years ago.

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

, 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.

Three-dimensional molar enamel distribution and thickness in Australopithecus and Paranthropus

, 2008
Thick molar enamel is among the few diagnostic characters of hominins which are measurable in fossil specimens. Despite a long history of study and characterization of Paranthropus molars as relatively ‘hyper-thick’, only a few tooth fragments and ...

‘Do larger molars and robust jaws in early hominins represent dietary adaptation?’ A New Study in Tooth Wear

, 2013
Diet imposes significant constraints on the biology and behaviour of animals. The fossil record suggests that key changes in diet have taken place throughout the course of human evolution.

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 ...

Taphonomy of the micromammal assemblage from Cooper’s D (Early Pleistocene, South Africa) and the palaeoenvironments of Paranthropus robustus

, 2022
International audienceIn South Africa, the contemporaneity of various Hominin species in the Pleistocene fossil record makes it complex to understand the evolutionary history and subsistence behaviors of these lineages.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record
AbstractThe oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.
