| 英文摘要 | The hominin mandible SK 15 was discovered in April 1949 in Swartkrans Member 2, dated to similar to 1.4 Ma. Albeit distorted on the right side, the left and right corpus of SK 15 are relatively low and thick, even compared to most Early to Middle Pleistocene Homo specimens. It preserves the left molar row and the right M-2 and M-3 that show a distalward increase in mesiodistal diameter. SK 15 was originally attributed to Telanthropus capensis but is now generally attributed to Homo erectus/Homo ergaster, even if it was previously suggested to possibly belong to Australopithecus. Similarities between SK 15 and Homo naledi mandible and tooth morphology were also claimed. To clarify the taxonomy of SK 15, we used X-ray microtomography to investigate aspects of bone and tooth structural organization. Geometric morphometric analyses of the dental arcade shape, mandible symphysis outline, and the M-2 and M-3 enamel-dentine junction shape were conducted. For mandibular symphysis shape, SK 15 exhibits an australopith signal, whereas for both the dental arcade and enamel-dentine junction analyses, the specimen is statistically classified as Paranthropus. Altogether, the results show that SK 15 unambiguously falls outside the variation of H. erectus/H. ergaster and that it is most compatible with the morphology of Paranthropus, albeit showing smaller dimensions and an absence of some dental morphological features (e.g., developed protostylid, distally tapering M-3, short molar roots) typically found in specimens of Paranthropus aethiopicus, Paranthropus boisei, and Paranthropus robustus. In particular, SK 15 differs markedly in size and morphology from mandibular remains of P. robustus from Swartkrans Member 2. We thus tentatively attribute SK 15 to Paranthropus capensis, a more gracile species of Paranthropus than the other three currently recognized species of this genus and discuss the implications for the existence of another species of Paranthropus in southern Africa during the Early Pleistocene.
