(Source of picture: World Wide Web)
Australopithecus boisei inhabited eastern Africa approximately 2.5 - 1.2
million years ago. The Australopithecus boisei's skull is similar to that
of the Australopithecus robustus, in which they both have a distinct ridge
on the top of their skulls. Australopithecus boisei has a relatively level
face and possesses an extremely large jaw which coincides with their wide
teeth. (Wicander and Monroe 1993)
