You are the product of billions of years of evolutionary change! Approximately 10 million years ago, our ancient ancestors split from the ancestors of modern chimpanzees. This led to the evolution of many different species in the hominin lineage. Ultimately, one species was left standing: ours! Join anthropologist Lindsay Barone to explore the hominins one-by-one in a DNALC Live series called Species Shorts.
In Episode 5, you will:
• Explore the differences between robust and gracile australopithecines
• Learn about what it means to be an evolutionary “dead end”
Presenter: Lindsay Barone
Audience: General Audience

I love this series of human origin videos. Please keep them coming : )
Really loved the explanations. Was so hard to memorise them until I saw these videos. Thank you Mam!
Congratulations DNA L.C. and Dr. Barone by this wonderful series. Please keep coming!
anthropology major double focusing in cultural anth and archaeology here! i LOVE THIS HOMININ SO MUCH
Is it possible that Parantropus ethiopicus was a evolution of Australopitecus afarensis? The dark skull you use is from Turkana lake? Many thanks🙏🏻
Great job. Clear and specific, pure science. Thank you.
Can I ask you where you get these 3D printed skulls?
Thanks for this informative video.if you can explain how the evolution tree evolved from proconsul and dryopithecus to the Homo genus in a video it would be really helpful!
Interesting video. I have some comments, though. As far, as I'm aware, the monophyly of Paranthropus genus is still highly debatable. When it comes to diets, only P. boisei have been found to rely heavily on the C4 plants - read grasses, while P. robustus was a largely omnivorous generalist. In the case of that last species, its robustness rather expanded its diet than limited it (specialised). It parallels a little bit the gorillas' evolution. Their robustness allows them to feed on hard green parts of plants (like leaves), but they still prefer ripe fruits if only they have access to them. This versitality allows them to use smaller home ranges, despite their large size. I guess these 'side-notes' were omitted to make the video reasonably short. Still, I think it is worth mentioning, that things are a little bit more complex. ;) Best wishes! :)
1 glaring oversight is this series would come to life if there was some artist renderings of the subject. Fossils are too dry without imagining how the creature actually appeared.
Love your vids as I'm a total Hominin Nerd! Would it be possible to discuss recent archaic/modern hybrids like the 13,000 yr old Iwo Eleru skull from West Africa?
Is no one finding fossils in chimp and gorilla lines? Are there changes in quadrupedal apes? Did their lines just stop evolving.
What about these guy's big toes?
There are fossils out there of chimp and gorilla ancestors, they just dont grab nearly as much attention as hominin species, because most people are generally more interested in our own evolutionary lineage, so they certainly did not stop evolving. Ever since they've split off from their last common ancestors, they have been evolving ever since :)
There are some fossils that are viewed as representing those lineages. Still, the known (at least published) fossil record of crown apes (excluding us) is relatively poor to almost non-existent. This may have to do both, with collectors bias, and due to environment - in tropical forests, with acid soils, the bones have poorer chances to preserve as fossils compared to dry woodlands or open savannas. The Ardipithecus and some other very early Hominins gives us hints on the anatomy of the last commons ancestor of us and chimps. It starts to be quite obvious, that chimpanzees and bonobos have changed significantly compared to this ancestor - in some aspects even more than we have done. Both - feet, and palms of chimpanzees are highly specialised in vertical climbing and brachiation. Earlier those were thought as primitive, but the last common ancestor of us and chimpanzees wasn't probably as derived in these features as we were assuming earlier.
Is there a difference between Paranthropus aethiopicus and Australopithicus aethiopicus or is that just two names for describing the same thing.
Yah those are two names for the same thing. They originally classified the Paranthropus species as australopithecines, but they are significantly different from australopithecines, so they gave them a new genus: Paranthropus. So every once in a while you'll hear Australopithecus aethipoicus, but usually you'll hear Paranthropus aethiopicus :)
Lindsay, I think it would be nice to see an actual "picture" of each species at the start of each video. Excellent video. Thanks.
Paranthoroupus if he lived todey and faced a siverback gorilla would he be stronger tham him???
Cool thanks mate
Would be cool if u could get the skull of a gorrila and compare them
It would be great if these were longer tutorials
Actually, these lectures are just right. Ech one covers one species, and lasts about 13 minutes, which enables the listener to concentrate and to remember. L. Barone is a highly gifted teacher.
Is it same
as Bahrelghazeli ?
some people learn what to think, instead of how to think,
so i am anticipating radical shifts in paleo-anthropological thought within the next year..
we all have to start somewhere in the field, people teach what they learn, that's not your fault or mine...
but some of the associations were made years ago, alongside much less data than we have today...
and then also, does "in" look like something evolved from something because it "evolved from", or because it "joined with" ???
*that's the reality, they didn't exactly know*...so why say they do, if we don't yet ???
and then, Unfortunately, some people today are still learning old assumptions, as if they are facts.
We evolved from Monsters. It’s no wonder humans are so awful.
