EPISODE 4 — Paranthropus boisei Diet: What the Nutcracker Man Really Ate (Documentary)
IFor decades, Paranthropus boisei was nicknamed the “Nutcracker Man” – but what if he wasn’t cracking nuts at all? 🧠

This episode uncovers the *real diet* of Paranthropus boisei using *cutting-edge scientific tools* like microwear analysis, isotope chemistry and paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The results *completely overturn* the classic Nutcracker Man story.

Discover how this strange, robust hominin actually lived, what it ate, and what its fate can tell us about **human evolution**.
