>>11035463>That's your ancestor!His lineage died off. Paranthropus and Australopithecus both descend from Artipithecus, but Paranthropus was the "robust" form of australopithecine, in other words, a fucking brainlet compared to the gracile australopithecines. His dumbass lasted maybe a million years before dying off, while Australopithecus lived on to eventually give rise to Homo erectus.
tl;dr Paranthropus was a fucking embarrassment to evolutionary history
