New Information from the Swartkrans Cave of Relevance to "Robust" Australopithecines

What can the Swartkrans cave tell us about “ robust” australopithecines? Potentially a good deal, since this site has produced remains of more of these individuals than any other single locality yet known. Discoveries there go back to 1948 when the site was first worked by Robert Broom and John Robinson who, over a 5-year period, recovered a spectacular haul of Australopithecus robustus fossils and demonstrated, for the first time, the coexistence of this hominid with early Homo (Broom and Robinson, 1950).
