Still Waters Posted December 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The first skull of Paranthropus boisei, dated to 1.75 million years old, was discovered in 1959 at Olduvai by the anthropologist Dr Mary Leakey. A number of hominin's skull fossils have been discovered over the years, but the build and skeletal adaptations of the rest of the Paranthropus boisei's body have been unknown, until now. http://www.sci-news....ania-01603.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaginarynumber1 Posted December 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Paranthropus boisei individual likely stood 1.0 to 1.4 m tall and possessed a robust frame. They were probably some squat little powerhouses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
