Analysis of 1.4 million-year-old footprints suggests larger body mass for Paranthropus boisei

New analysis of fossilized footprints in Kenya indicates that the hominin species Paranthropus boisei reached heights of 1.80 meters and weights of 75 kilograms. This finding challenges previous estimates of the species' physical stature, suggesting a more robust morphology than previously documented in the fossil record.
