A fossilised jawbone found in South Africa has been labeled as belonging to a beforehand unidentified human relative. The specimen, estimated to be 1.4 million years outdated, has been attributed to the genus Paranthropus, recognized for its distinctive dental construction. Unlike its sturdy counterparts, the newly recognized species displays a smaller jaw and enamel, suggesting dietary variations. The findings point out that a number of hominin species coexisted in southern Africa throughout that interval, including to the complexity of early human evolution.

Findings from the Research

According to a examine revealed within the Journal of Human Evolution, the fossil jaw, catalogued as SK 15, was unearthed in 1949 at Swartkrans, a widely known paleoanthropological web site in South Africa. Originally labeled as Telanthropus capensis and later reassigned to Homo ergaster, latest evaluation has challenged this classification. Clément Zanolli, a paleoanthropologist on the University of Bordeaux, instructed Live Science that superior X-ray imaging was used to create digital 3D fashions of the specimen. Internal and exterior dental constructions had been examined, revealing that SK 15 doesn’t align with Homo species. The molars had been discovered to be longer and extra rectangular than these usually seen in Homo, with the jaw notably thicker than anticipated. These traits led researchers to determine it as a definite species inside the Paranthropus genus, named Paranthropus capensis.

Variations in jaw and tooth construction counsel totally different dietary habits, with P. robustus probably counting on a extremely specialised eating regimen as a result of its massive molars, whereas P. capensis could have consumed a broader vary of meals sources.

Zanolli famous that the fossil report in Africa stays incomplete, leaving open the query of whether or not P. capensis endured past its at the moment recognized timeframe.
