Figure 2

Box and whisker plots of δ13C and δ18O values of hippos (A), bovids (B), equids (C), suids (D), hyenas (E), and giraffids (F) from the MK archaeological sites (2.02 – 0.6 Ma). Isotopic data are plotted at the family level. Further details on Bovidae are provided in Fig. S3 (Supplementary Information). The vertical line in the boxes marks the median values; the box ends are the lower and upper quartiles; the lines define the range of data; a solid circle is equivalent to a value. Yellow and orange shades indicate mixed C3-C4 and C4-dominated diets, respectively16,58. Animal silhouettes are from Phylopic (https://www.phylopic.org).
