Abstract

Wolpoff has rejected “Telanthropus” as a refutation of the single species hypothesis on the basis of the stratigraphy at Swartkrans, the morphological characters of the “Telanthropus” specimens, and a statistical test. The stratigraphic and morphological evidence has been reexamined, and M. length and breadth dimensions of “Telanthropus” and Paranthropus have been compared statistically. These results are inconsistent with Wolpoff's conclusions and the single species hypothesis of human evolution.
