The Evolution Of Zinjanthropus Boisei, Paul J. Constantino, Bernard A. Wood Mar 2007

The Evolution Of Zinjanthropus Boisei, Paul J. Constantino, Bernard A. Wood

Biological Sciences Faculty Research

Many people assume that OH 5, the type specimen of Paranthropus boisei, collected in 1959, was the first evidence of that taxon to be found, but OH 3, recovered in 1955, predated the discovery of OH 5 by four years.

This review marks that milestone by examining the way our understanding of this taxon has changed during its fifty, or so, year history.

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The deposit was discovered during construction of a road bridge over Nicollet Creek adjacent to the site. Material in the following report was assembled from unpublished field notes and records on file …
