đŠ· 2-million-year-old teeth are rewriting the story of human evolution!
Ancient proteins extracted from Paranthropus robustus reveal unexpected genetic diversity â 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. đ
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.
