- Former classification for Australopithecus robustus
- The robust australopithecines, members of the extinct hominin genus Paranthropus (Greek para "beside", Greek anthropos "human"), were bipedal hominids that probably descended from the gracile australopithecine hominids (Australopithecus).
- A taxonomic genus, within subfamily Homininae - a group of extinct bipedal hominids
- Genus of early hominins, contemporary with Australopithecus, that includes boisei and robustus as species.
- Species: "beside man". Robust australopithecines such as A. robustus are usually separated into a separate genus. P. robustus, P. aethiopicus andP. boisei are the three species that represent this genus. A cave at Drimolen in South Africa has yielded over 80 A. ...
