On the relationship between maxillary molar root shape and jaw kinematics in Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus

Plio-Pleistocene hominins from South Africa remain poorly understood. Here, we focus on how Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus exploited and—in part—partitioned their environment. Specifically, we explore the extent to which first maxillary molar roots (M(1)) are oriented and thus,...
