Kenyan footprints shed light on prehistoric human cousin Paranthropus

New research analyzing footprints near Lake Turkana, Kenya, dated to 1.43 million years ago, sheds light on the physical characteristics and social behavior of Paranthropus boisei, an extinct hominin species known for its robust skull and large teeth. The study reveals that these hominins may have had human-like body sizes and traveled in groups of males without females or children.
