#paleoanthropology research shows #homoerectus and #paranthropusboisei , two #bipedal #hominins , were contemporaneous 1.5 Mya in Kenya. Wow! #anthropology
Excited to share our latest paper, new in Science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Footprint evidence for locomotor diversity and shared habitats among early Pleistocene hominins
For much of the Pliocene and Pleistocene, multiple hominin species coexisted in the same regions of eastern and southern Africa. Due to the limitations of the skeletal fossil record, questions regardi...

Good grip: Amazing new find of #ParanthropusBoisei hand and wrist bones in #Africa sheds some light on possible #tool use 1.5 million years ago.
A human-like grip, outside the Homo lineage:

Fossil hand bones point to tool use outside the Homo lineage
The fossil wrist and thumb bones suggest Paranthropus boisei could grasp tools around 1.5 million years ago.

They don’t call him the Nutcracker Man for nothing.
OH 5 (Paranthropus boisei) had jaw power like a paleo tank—perfect for crunching through tough roots and seeds nearly 2 million years ago.

Clear remains of #ParanthropusBoisei were discovered on #ThisDayInHistory in 1959 by #MaryLeakey and #LouisLeakey at #OlduvaiGorge, #Tanzania. A crucial example of a separate #hominin evolutionary line, unconnected to us, it likely subsisted on tough grasses, roots, and tubers.
