Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genus Paranthropus is distinguishable from genus Australopithecus because of its robusticity, meaning the skull has more pronounced features for chewing muscles, such as a larger jaw, thicker bones, and more prominent ridges. Body size and brain size are not reliable criteria to separate these genera. While most specimens of Australopithecus have been found in Africa, some species of Paranthropus have been found in South Africa.
