Why is it important to compare the upper jaws of the chimpanzee, the Australopithecus and the modern human?

It is important to compare the three upper jaws in order to understand the links that may exist between the three hominin species.--Pierre.brawand (discussion) 27 mars 2020 à 18:52 (CET)

How do we reconstruct hominin diets?

To know the type of food hominins ate, scientists look at the chemical composition of body tissues such as bones. --IrisH (discussion) 24 mars 2020 à 11:20 (CET) To be more precise, scientists look for the presence of C3 or C4, which is the carbon isotope signature. If there C3, it would mean that the diet is composed of fruits, leaves , part of trees, bushes or shrubs. And if there's C4, it means that the species eat more plants that grow in savannah habitats.--ThomasG (discussion) 27 mars 2020 à 11:42 (CET)

Note that the diet also shows a species' habitat because certain type of plants can only grow in certain places--ThomasG (discussion) 27 mars 2020 à 11:42 (CET)
