Australopithecus boisei, Female KNM ER 732
MYA. Female. The Australopithecus boisei Skull KNM ER 732 was discovered in 1970 at Koobi Fora, Kenya by R. Leakey and H. Mutua. A comparative analysis of KNM ER 732 and KNM ER 406 revealed a host of similarities with the only differences being typical of the sexual dimorphism found in great ape skulls. Consequently, KNM ER 732 is considered to be a female and KNM ER 406 a male of the species, Australopithecus boisei.
