  • How did Paranthropus become extinct and how can you be certain? (p.71)
  • How was Louis Leakey certain that Zinjanthropus boisei was a new genus and species just by looking at a skull? (p.79)
  • How could researchers know that Homo habilis made the earliest tools?(p.79)
  • How did you know that the individual P.Brosei found in 2013 weighed 46kg?(p.80)
  • Since the Paranthropus lived alongside other species, did these species interact or did they all have their own territories and did not cross paths?(p.81)




-One aspect I find very interesting is: how come the Paranthropus aethiopicus/robustus/boisei evolved to represent a sagittal crest? -Also: Being the only lineages who show this particular caracteristic how did they evolve to prenet this crest only in males? (sexual dismorphism)

-What is your hypothesis about Austrolopithecus and Paranthropus coexistance? -Do you think these sympatric species lived up and close to each other or were always falling back due to their diets?
