Fig. 2: KNM-ER 101000 craniodental remains.

a, Diagnostic craniodental elements of KNM-ER 101000 shown in anatomical position against a silhouette of the reconstructed OH 5 cranium. The articular eminence is not to scale. Scale bar, 10 mm. b, Comparison of hominin anterior to posterior dentition sizes, depicted here as the ratio of maxillary M3 and canine crown modules, defined as (mesiodistal + buccolingual)/2. n = 10; see Supplementary Table 6 for details. c, AET of the maxillary M3 plotted in comparison to hominin and ape data from ref. 23 (n = 50, see Supplementary Table 4 for details). In b and c, data are presented as boxplots, with the median indicated by a vertical line, the box spanning the interquartile range and the whiskers extending to 1.5× the interquartile range from each quartile. The skull silhouette in a was created by Mark Belan.
