Paranthropus was considered as living on the side of Australopithecus and Homo.How was the cohabitation of the "sympatric" species possible? ( p. 81 )

They aren't competing for food because if it was the case, one species could have overcome the other.--ThomasG (discussion) 7 avril 2020 à 11:03 (CEST)
