zinjanthropus boisei  

Definición

  • Zinjanthropus is an extinct hominin discovered by Mary Leakey in 1959 at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. The name Zinjanthropus literally means “East African Man.” The specimen for which the species Zinjanthropus boisei was named (OH5, or Olduvai Hominind 5) is also known as “Nutcracker man” because of its extremely large postcanine teeth (molars and premolars).
