Abstract
Geochemical chronologies in surface increments and exposed cross-sections of naturally fractured hominin enamel from the South African sites of Swartkrans and Kromdraai indicate that Paranthropus robustus exploited both forest and grassland habitats, and that individuals did not move on the landscape in a manner analogous to extant African apes.

期刊介绍:
Nature Ecology & Evolution is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences. Nature Ecology & Evolution provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in all aspects of life's diversity can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of scientists.
