Paranthropus species had a large sagittal crest, enormous cheek teeth, robust jaws, and strong jaw muscles (suggesting they were herbivores that ate tough food). Australopithecus anamensis : The recently described Australopithecus deyiremeda has tooth sizes and proportions like graciles but lower jaws that are very thick, like those of robust australopithecines (Haile-Selassie et al., 2015). So in light of all the confusion and blurring distinctions, maybe it’s time to scrap “gracile” vs. “robust”? (23-5 mya) Early Miocene: Proconsul.

Term sagittal crest: These areas swell with fluids and turn bright pink or red due to hormonal changes that occur in preparation for ovulation. This robust group differs from the gracile Australopithecines because the robust group has a broad face, a saggital crest, large molars and smaller reduced canines while the dental arcade is straight (Wood and Richmond 2000). Specimens are di- vided into gracile and robust samples based on published taxonomic statements. Brain size increased slightly from . Had huge molars and premolars, large chewing muscles, sagittal crests, very large postorbital constriction and flared … For example, you need to know that hominids include all humans (extinct and extant). 8.

For specific taxa, you need to know the type of australopithecine (if applicable), the time period, and the geographic location. the 'robust Australopithecines' who, due to being herbivores, have strong chewing muscles. Australopithecus africanus is an example of gracile Australopithecus species that can be found in South Africa. Paranthropus are considered. Paranthropus boisei is also known as being the most robust of the robust australopithecines. The problem is that the specimen possesses a large supra-mastoid crest, though little of it is present; yet it has no sagittal crest and only a single fragmentary tooth crown — but these are the features generally used to identify robust australopithecines. Browridges are the bony ridge above both eye orbits. Hundereds od new species evolved throughout Africa & Eurasia.

Named Australopithecus africanus Little immediate acceptance as true hominid Site is now destroyed but appears to have dated to about 900,000 BP. Bipedal locomotion ; Foramen magnum is locate anteriorly balanced in a vertical orientation appropriate for upright posture and movement; Vertebral column is S-shaped w/ spinal curves; the cervical curve and the lumbar curve - allow the weight of the body to be carried … Three cranial traits used to differentiate gracile and robust Australopithecines include the robust Australopithecine having a sagittal crest, a more robust mandible, and a flatter face, where the gracile has no sagittal crest, a less robust mandible, and more visible prognathism. ... the SAGITTAL CREST. English is used when calling us. That is because they are physically small and delicately built. Miocene Hominoid radiation: During the early Miocene the African and Eurasian landmasses collided. These are what we call GRACILE AUSTRALOPITHECINES. Fossils that have been found also show a lot of attrition (dental wear). Follow this link for a discussion of this claim.
