Not considered direct ancestors, just a side branch. Postcranial material does not differ greatly in size. Broad cheekbones, large teeth related to powerful chewing. Diet emphasizing rough vegetable foods, possibly some meat. 2. 7-2. 3 ma; earliest robust small brain size chewing apparatus. Dietery and environmental specialists, no idea why they went extinct. A genus is a group of species composed of members more closely related to each other. Species that are members of the same genus share the same broad adaptive zone. Members of the same genus should all share derived characters not seen in members of. Recognizing fossil genera than to other species from any other genus other genera. Boisei- goes extinct, branches off of anthentropus (both ea); robustus evolves separately to (sa) Aferensis branches into africanus and aetheopicus and into boisei. Africanus branches off into sediba and robustus (all three have anterior pillars); sediba then branches into homo. R is e o f t h e h o mo.
