Abstract

The article focuses on the ontogeny of craniofacial development in the Pleistocene robust australopith Paranthropus robustus, based on fossils from the sites of Kromdraai and Drimolen. It mentions the study reveals insights into the timing and characteristics of craniofacial features in P. robustus infants, suggesting potential relationships with early Homo and challenging previous taxonomic attributions.
