Abstract

Parapapio and Papio are abundant throughout the African Plio-Pleistocene fossil record, however because of their overlap in dental size it can be hard to distinguish between the two genera. This paper utilizes dental measurements (relative flange length/molar and premolar size) in attempt to distinguish between the two genera.
