Finishing this critter, the only thing i need to think about its their sexual dimorphism and stone carving capabilities, they are going to be like European Paranthropus with the intelligence of H. erectus

shoutout to australopithecus africanus and 'prometheus' for skirting around paranthropus and kenyanthropus

and a special thanks to a. sediba for doing a pro gamer move into the homo hypodigm

This is the inspiration for my eat the rich stickers, but instead of a leopard it’s a lion and it’s a homo sapien instead of a paranthropus robustus, very interesting and cool fossil! https://t.co/cw2ZaB7MpM

Happy this is my favorite skull, Paranthropus robustus juvenile cranium (SK-54) - 2 puncture wounds indicate prey of Leopard 1.5 million years ago Swartkrans, South Africa.

Paranthropus boisei. There are other species of Paranthropus but I didn't do them because I wanted to draw members of the genus Homo next

MRD-VP-1/1 was the first relatively complete skull known for Australopithecus anamensis. Its similarities with later species like Au. africanus and Paranthropus may suggest that such traits evolved in the common ancestor of all bipedal hominins.

One of the beautiful fossils found in South Africa during the last few years is the DNH 155 skull, reconstructed by . This Paranthropus robustus individual lived sometime around 2 million years ago.

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 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 are enormously expanded. But the canine and incisor teeth are human-sized or smaller.

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

The late André Keyser was faced with the problem of extricating the DNH 7 skull from an ant colony and tangle of plant roots. The pieces today comprise the most complete known skull of Paranthropus robustus

Stw 183 is the left side of a young australopith face from Sterkfontein, South Africa. Although it has been likened to the type fossil of Paranthropus robustus (TM1517, green), virtually overlapping the fossils shows it lacks a classic "robust" face

By the late 1950s, scientists had recovered 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.

The tall rami of the SK 23 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.

Paranthropus boisei is one of the best-known fossil 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.

Paranthropus aethiopicus is one of the fossil 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.

Students of 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.
