Paranthropus boisei

description: <i>Paranthropus boisei</i> Samples from the Omo Shungura sequence, East Lake Turkana, Olduvai Gorge and Konso were included in this study. Original specimens from Olduvai Gorge and East Lake Turkana were examined first-hand, while casts and published reports (<i>Tobias, 1967</i>; <i>Suwa et al., 1996</i>, <i>1997</i>; <i>Do ḿ&amp;imath;nguez- Rodrigo et al., 2013</i>) were used to study the Omo and Konso materials. Our postcranial considerations of <i>P. boisei</i> are very limited and we did not rely upon the association of KNM-ER 1500 (<i>Grausz et al., 1988</i>) to derive information about the postcranial skeleton of <i>P. boisei</i>. <i>Paranthropus robustus</i> The samples from Kromdraai, Swartkrans, Sterkfontein, Drimolen, Gondolin, and Coopers were included in this study. First-hand observations of original specimens from all localities were used with the exception of Drimolen fossils, which were compared using published reports (<i>Keyser, 2000</i>; <i>Keyser et al., 2000</i>).
