Abstract

South African researchers have unearthed the most complete skull ever found of a robust australopithecine (Paranthropus robustus), a hominid that roamed the veldt some 2 million years ago. The small skull, unveiled last week in Johannesburg, is believed to be that of a female. It was found, along with a male jawbone, by retired government geologist André Keyser in 1994 at a relatively new site called Drimolen, near the renowned Sterkfontein caves.
