Abstract: Australopithecus(orParanthropus) boisei is a member of an extinct, early human branch, which separated from the lineage that led to today's humans some 3-2.5 million years ago. The discovery of the most complete skull from this species is now reported, and the features of the skull indicate that we may have to rethink where, and how, the boundaries between different species are drawn.
