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

Dive into the world of our ancient cousins and discover the key differences between Paranthropus and Homo. Understanding ...

The footprints are the first clear evidence that the two hominin species shared a habitat, raising questions about whether their interactions shaped human evolution.

We looked at fossil teeth from hominins (humans and our closest extinct relatives) from the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, where we can see traces of more than two million years of human evolution, as well ...

They had large brow ridges and bigger brains than Paranthropus boisei, though smaller than our species. The researchers found the footprints in 2021 in the vicinity of Lake Turkana.

Crossing evolutionary paths: New research finds different hominin species coexisted Footprints indicate these species walked along the same lakeshore within hours or days of each other ...

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.

Enigmatic hominin species studied using 2 million-year-old proteins We weren't even sure if Paranthropus remains come from a single species.

A new study describes ancient footprints from the species Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei that were left near a lake in Kenya within hours or days of one another.

Analysis - For nearly a century, scientists have been puzzling over fossils from a strange and robust-looking distant relative of early humans: Paranthropus robustus. It walked upright, and was built ...
