I haven't posted all of the entries for my Human Evolution series on Twitter, since I mainly use IG, so I'm posting them all again in this thread. Let's start from the beginning with Sahelanthropus tchadensis!
MRD-VP-1/1 was the first relatively complete skull known for Australopithecus anamensis. Its similarities with later #hominin species like Au. africanus and Paranthropus may suggest that such traits evolved in the common ancestor of all bipedal hominins. #paleoanthropology
One of the beautiful #hominin fossils found in South Africa during the last few years is the DNH 155 skull, reconstructed by @Palaeozone. This Paranthropus robustus individual lived sometime around 2 million years ago. #paleoanthropology #FossilFriday
The Sahelanthropus is Named after the hominid of the same name which is the oldest human bipedal species known to date.
Which translates to "Man of Sahel" the place where it was found.
#FossilFriday The oldest of their species: Homo erectus DNH 134 and Paranthropus robustus DNH 152 from Drimolen (South Africa). Dated to c. 2 Ma! +info https://t.co/G4ldpebnF2 📷 from @Ozarchaeomaglab et al (2020) https://t.co/gCbAIBOIiQ

The occlusal surface of the molars of Paranthropus boisei is three to four times larger than that found in today's humans. The premolars of this #hominin are enormously expanded. But the canine and incisor teeth are human-sized or smaller. #paleoanthropology
Paranthropus was a biped like today's humans, but may have used its legs a little differently. Some researchers think the species was climbing more, others point to the dynamics of a relatively wide pelvis in this #hominin. #paleoanthropology #sciart
“Sahelanthropus will unleash that thirst unto the future.” Those were his last words. Pretentious to the end… Still, doesn’t feel like this is over… And I’ll never be whole again." - Kazuhira Miller
#MGSV
The late André Keyser was faced with the problem of extricating the DNH 7 #hominin skull from an ant colony and tangle of plant roots. The pieces today comprise the most complete known skull of Paranthropus robustus #paleoanthropology
The Canadian anatomist Davidson Black died at his desk in 1934 with the skull of Sinanthropus from Locus E beside him. This #hominin skull was unearthed by Wenzhong Pei in 1929 deep within a fissure cave in Longgushan, or "Dragon Bone Hill" #paleoanthropology
By the late 1950s, scientists had recovered #hominin fossils that showed that Australopithecus and Paranthropus were bipeds in a humanlike pattern. The pelvis evolved a form different from any other living or fossil primates. #paleoanthropology
The tall rami of the SK 23 #hominin mandible match the tall faces of other fossils attributed to its species, Paranthropus robustus. Isotopic evidence suggests it ate the same range of foods as the smaller-toothed members of our own genus, Homo. #paleoanthropology
“Sally-lanthropus”
What started out as a joke courtesy of @Unranged turned into very satisfying color study. I can hear already Huey whining about the inhumanity of putting pink on a nuclear armed bipedal tank 💄

Paranthropus boisei is one of the best-known fossil #hominin species. Part of a branch that existed for more than 1.5 million years, adults could generate incredible bite force--shown by the huge area for the temporalis muscle. #paleoanthropology #FossilFriday
Paranthropus aethiopicus is one of the fossil #hominin species that may be a "nomen dubium". The holotype specimen is Omo 18-18, a jaw that lacks any tooth crowns. What remains isn't distinct from large samples of P. boisei or P. robustus. #paleoanthropology
Students of #hominin evolution quickly pick up the differences between big-toothed Paranthropus boisei and our genus, Homo. Yet there are still anatomical overlaps between these lineages that make some of the fossils from Koobi Fora challenging to interpret. #paleoanthropology
