Teeth, Proteins, and Paranthropus: Cracking Open an Ancient Mystery How 2-Million-Year-Old Tooth Enamel Is Rewriting the Story of a Hominin Enigma

Ancient tooth proteins show Paranthropus robustus wasn't just dimorphic—its variation went deeper. Male tooth, small size. DNA gone, but enamel remembers. #Paleoproteomics #Paranthropus #HumanEvolution #AncientProteins #FossilScience @science.org

Enigmatic hominin species studied using 2 million-year-old proteins The ability to study ancient DNA has revolutionized our ability to understand our own species' past. It has clarified our relationship with Neanderthals and revealed the existence of Denisovans. But even...
