Drimolen cranium DNH 155 documents microevolution in an early hominin species

Jesse M. Martin et al.

Summary: The discovery of a well-preserved adult male cranium, DNH 155, challenges existing hypotheses of sexual dimorphism and clarifies theories regarding hominin phylogeny. This finding represents highly resolved evidence of microevolutionary changes within Paranthropus robustus, indicating local microevolution within robust australopiths.
