History with Kayleigh | Evolution Of The Paranthropus Hominins | Boisei, Robustus & Aethiopicus @HistoryWithKayleigh | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
The first thing I feel the need to mention is the fact that the Paranthropus species are often referred to as the Robust Australopithecines, this has to do with the fact that they are incredibly similar to the species in the Australopithecus Genus but their morphology is more robust.
This is also one of the reasons as to why there are anthropologists that Contest the Genus of Paranthropus and they would like these 3 species to be placed in the Australopithecus Genus.
The 3 species in this genus bear the following scientific names for various reasons.
Aethiopicus was given this name because the specimen were discovered in Ethiopia.
Boisei was given this name to honour Charles Boisei who helped with the funding for the Leakey’s fossil hunting expeditions.
Robustus was given this name because they were a robust Australopithecine when it comes to their skulls and jaws, the Latin word for strongly built is Robustus.
Paranthropus Aethiopicus and Paranthropus Boisei seemed to have lived in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania while Paranthropus Robustus seemed to have only lived in South Africa.
