A new study of two-million-year-old tooth enamel has revealed surprising genetic diversity in Paranthropus robustus, a ...

Researchers have extracted 2-million-year-old protein remains from Paranthropus robustus teeth to reveal biological sex and genetic variability.

In some cases, the megadont cheek teeth of Paranthropus boisei were four times the size of our own. The cranium is mostly complete, however, missing pieces are indicated in light yellow.

Scientists previously knew about three Paranthropus species including P.aethiopicus, P.boisei and P. robustus. They lived between one million and 2.7 million years ago, reports Live Science.

'Blood Brothers' follows the lives of two species, Paranthropus boisei and Homo habilis who embody two alternative ways of ape-man life. Although heavyset, with distinctive gorilla-like faces, the ...

Discovered in 2021, the footprints belong to Homo erectus, a direct ancestor of modern humans, and Paranthropus boisei, another hominin species.

Human footprints stir the imagination. They invite you to follow, to guess what someone was doing and where they were going. Fossilized footprints preserved in rock do the same – they record instants ...

Some paleontologists have proposed this possibility for the robust Paranthropus boisei because the chemistry of its teeth indicates a specific herbivorous diet of grasslike and reedlike plants.

“Paranthropus boisei, they look quite different. Most of the fossils that are confidently attributed to them are skulls or teeth.

Two species of ancient human relatives crossed paths 1.5 million years ago. Fossilized footprints in Kenya captured the moment, according to a new study.
