Australopithecus boisei was first described from a cranium recovered in 1959 from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania,. This and subsequent finds, mostly from Kenya's Turkana basin, resulted in its characterization as a specialized Australopithecus species with a hyper-robust masticatory apparatus,,. A distinct A. boisei facial morphology has been emphasized to differentiate robust Australopithecus lineages from East and South Africa. A preference for closed and/or wet habitats has been hypothesized. Here…

The Drimolen skull: the most complete australopithecine cranium and mandible to date
TLDR
Owing to the excellent preservation of this new skull, it is now possible to demonstrate that P. robustus shows a greater degree of intraspecific variability in both morphology and size, indicating greater sexual dimorphism in this species, than was previously thought.
Early Pleistocene Homo erectus fossils from Konso, southern Ethiopia
Homo erectus has been broadly defined to include fossils from Africa, Asia, and possibly Europe, or restricted to a supposedly confined Asian clade. Recently discovered fossils of H. erectus are…
Hominins from the Upper Laetolil and Upper Ndolanya Beds, Laetoli
Renewed investigations at Laetoli in northern Tanzania have led to the recovery of a number of new fossil hominins. A lower canine and a mandibular fragment from the Upper Laetolil Beds (3.63–3.85…
Testing the taxonomic integrity of Paranthropus boisei sensu stricto.
TLDR
There are no grounds for rejecting the "single-species" hypothesis for P. boisei s.s., despite the substantial geological time embraced by the mandibular corpus hypodigm, and the predicted value of lnISD, when corrected for taphonomic factors, is comparable to the sexual dimorphism observed within Gorilla.
The Ardipithecus ramidus Skull and Its Implications for Hominid Origins
TLDR
The highly fragmented and distorted skull of the adult skeleton ARA-VP-6/500 includes most of the dentition and preserves substantial parts of the face, vault, and base, showing that the Mio-Pliocene hominid cranium differed substantially from those of both extant apes and Australopithecus.
Homo naledi, a new species of the genus Homo from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa
Homo naledi is a previously-unknown species of extinct hominin discovered within the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa. This species is characterized…

Recent fossil discoveries of early human ancestors from paleoanthropological sites in Africa and elsewhere have demonstrated how various phases of human evolutionary history were much more…
Craniodental variation in Paranthropus boisei: a developmental and functional perspective.
TLDR
P. boisei is found to have a low degree of variability relative to extant primates for variables shown to be generally useful for testing taxonomic hypotheses, and three hypotheses about the factors contributing to craniodental variation in extant primate taxa are presented.
Cranial variability in East African ‘Robust’ hominis
TLDR
There is insufficient evidence to refute the hypothesis that all East African ‘robust’ fossils belong to A. (P.) boisei, but diachronic variation is found to be an important source of variability for cranial capacity.

New Australopithecus boisei calvaria from East Lake Turkana, Kenya.
TLDR
The calvaria of an adult Australopithecus boisei from Area 104, Koobi Fora, Lake Turkana, is described and it is presumed to be an adult male, based on its size and the great development of features associated with the masticatory apparatus.
Paranthropus boisei: an example of evolutionary stasis?
TLDR
The results of this examination of 55 mandibular and dental variables show that within Paranthropus boisei sensu stricto most evidence of temporally related morphological trends relates to the morphology of the P4 crown, and there is little or no evidence of any tendency to increase in overall size through time.

TLDR
There is now substantial support for the view that in the Turkana and perhaps also in the Olduvai assemblages, there is more variation than would be expected among male and female conspecifics.
Subnasal morphological variation in extant hominoids and fossil hominids
TLDR
A quantitative and qualitative assessment of subnasal morphology in samples of extant great apes and humans, and in all currently available African hominid specimens that historically have been referred to Australopithecus, Paranthropus, H. erectus and Homo habilis, indicates that morphological patterns sort among extant and fossil hominoid taxa.
Mandibular postcanine dentition from the Shungura Formation, Ethiopia: crown morphology, taxonomic allocations, and Plio-Pleistocene hominid evolution.
TLDR
A total of 48 isolated mandibular premolars and molars of the Omo collection spanning the 2-3 myr time period is sufficiently preserved to allow reliable serial allocations and intertaxon comparisons and is the object of study in this paper.
Human paleontological evidence relevant to language behavior.
TLDR
Additional evidence of sexual dimorphism in the modern human corpus callosum, in which the posterior splenial portion is larger in females, taken in conjunction with known clinical and psychological evidence relating to cognitive task specialization, suggests that thisDimorphism represents a biological heritage from past selection pressures for a dichotomous but complemental social behavioral set of adaptations to favor a division of sexual labors.

Early hominid feeding mechanisms
TLDR
A model of mammalian modes of feeding adaptation is proposed in the form of a “Natural Experiment” for tighter analysis of fossil forms.
2.5-Myr Australopithecus boisei from west of Lake Turkana, Kenya
TLDR
The primitive morphology of these early A. boisei suggests that robust and hyper-robust Australopithecus developed many of their common features in parallel and further that A. africanus is unlikely to have been ancestral to A. Boisei.
Oldest Homo and Pliocene biogeography of the Malawi Rift
TLDR
The evidence suggests that Pliocene hominids originated in the eastern African tropical domain and dispersed to southern Africa only during more favourable ecological circumstances.
