Ancient Kenyan footprints suggest larger, group-traveling Paranthropus boisei
Key Takeaways
- Researchers say a 1.4-million-year-old trackway in Kenya records eight Paranthropus boisei individuals at roughly the same time.
- The tracks suggest some individuals were much larger than earlier estimates based on sparse skeletal remains.
- Scientists say the footprint pattern may point to more complex group behavior than previously assumed for the species.
