RESULTS Description of anatomical features assumes the humerus is oriented lateral to the
body, parallel to the horizontal, thus presenting dorsal, ventral, anterior, and posterior …

CONCLUSIONS The overall morphology of DNH 32 strongly supports its attribution to
Paranthropus robustus, making it one of only three South African fossil humeri attributed to …

Recently, an isolated proximal humerus of an early Miocene hominoid was discovered at
Rusinga Island, Kenya. The precise taxonomic allocation of this specimen is currently …

Abstract The Plio-Pleistocene locality of Kromdraai B has yielded the type specimen of
Paranthropus robustus, as well as 27 additional fossil hominin specimens. In a number of …

The taxonomic attribution of isolated hominin distal humeri has been a matter of uncertainty
and disagreement notwithstanding their relative abundance in the fossil record. Four …

Late Permian terrestrial faunas of South Africa and Russia are dominated taxonomically and
ecologically by therapsid synapsids. On the basis of a single specimen from the Upper …

Pareiasaurs were relatively abundant and globally distributed herbivorous parareptiles of
the middle to late Permian. The basal-most pareiasaurs, the Bradysauria, are restricted to …

New early Miocene forelimb fossils have been recovered from the Songhor and Lower
Kapurtay localities in southwestern Kenya. We describe four specimens that are similar in …

Bone-bearing coprolites are fossilised faeces of carnivores and as such they provide
important information about food webs and feeding strategies of the ancient ecosystem. With …

Most fossil hominin species are sampled with spatial, temporal or anatomical biases that can
hinder assessments of their paleodiversity, and may not yield genuine evolutionary signals …
