†Paranthropus boisei (Hominidae)
Paranthropus boisei ist eine Primatenart innerhalb der Familie Hominidae, die ab dem Pliozän lebte, das vor rund 5,333 Millionen Jahren begann und bis vor vor 2,588 Millionen Jahren andauerte.
Australopithecus boisei ist ein ausgestorbener, zweibeiniger Menschenaffe aus der Familie Hominidae. Er war im Pleistozän in Ostafrika verbreitet.
Die Gebiss- und Schädelmerkmale, die den südafrikanischen Australopithecus robustus kennzeichnen, wurden bereits vom "hyperrobusten" Australopithecus boisei aus Ostafrika entwickelt. Die Art stammt aus Ablagerungen, die etwa zwischen 2,4 und 1,0 Millionen Jahre alt sind - sie lebte somit zeitgleich mit Mitgliedern unserer eigenen Gattung, Homo habilis und Homo erectus (Walker und Leakey, 1978).
Obwohl nur wenige Extremitätenknochen sicher Australopithecus boisei zugeordnet werden können, werden einige sehr große Armknochen von ostafrikanischen Fundorten mit dieser Spezies in Verbindung gebracht. Diese Knochen deuten auf gewisse Fähigkeiten, sich hangelnd unter den Ästen fortzubewegen (McHenry, 1973; Howell, 1978). Oft sind in Verbindung mit Australopithecus boisei Werkzeuge gefunden worden, aber die Existenz von fortschrittlicheren Hominiden (Menschen) während der gleichen Zeitspanne macht es fast unmöglich, Australopithecus boisei die Fähigkeit zur Herstellung von Steinwerkzeugen zu bescheinigen. Wie Australopithecus robustus scheint Australopithecus boisei vor etwa einer Million Jahre ausgestorben zu sein.
