Extended Data Fig. 2: a-f) KNM-ER 101000 dentition and comparative dental metrics.

Boxplots depicting linear dental metrics in early Homo (purple), Homo erectus (light blue), and Paranthropus boisei (red). KNM-ER 101000 is shown as a yellow star in each panel. Data are shown as boxplots, with the median indicated by a horizontal line, the box spanning the interquartile range (IQR), and the whiskers extending to 1.5 × IQR from each quartile. Individual fossil specimens included in each plot are listed in Supplementary Tables 6–10. g) Photographs show the KNM-ER 101000 maxillary and mandibular dentition. The postcanine dentition is shown in occlusal or near occlusal (RM3) view, while the canines are in labial view. CT sections taken perpendicular to the mesiodistal axis through the apices of the dentine horns of the mesial cusps of the maxillary RM3 (h) and the mandibular RM3 (i).
