ЁЯж╖ 2-million-year-old teeth are rewriting the story of human evolution!
Ancient proteins extracted from Paranthropus robustus reveal unexpected genetic diversity тАФ and mysterious enamel pits may be inherited traits, not signs of disease.
These discoveries suggest our evolutionary tree is far more complex than we once believed. ЁЯМН
The story of human evolution is increasingly being written not only in bones, but in teeth.
Recent discoveries involving 2-million-year-old fossil teeth from southern and eastern Africa are transforming what we know about early hominins, especially Paranthropus robustus, a powerful, large-jawed relative of early humans.
Through cutting-edge ancient protein analysis and the study of unusual enamel pitting, scientists are uncovering genetic diversity, evolutionary relationships, and developmental traits that challenge long-held assumptions about our ancient family tree.
