#palaeoanthropology #Africa Researchers, spearheaded by Univ of Copenhagen & Univ of Cape Town have revealed the biological sex of 4 ancient prehuman relatives after retrieving ~2-million-year-old protein remains from teeth belonging to #Paranthropusrobustus www.heriuct.co.za/news-content...
Ancient genetic data reveals biological sex and genetic variability of Paranthropus robustus — HERI - Human Evolution Research Institute
Using a technique called palaeoproteomics, researchers extracted 2-million-year-old protein remains from Paranthropus robustus teeth to reveal biological sex and genetic variability.
