Virtual reconstruction of the Tanzanian Paranthropus boisei type specimen OH 5 from Olduvai Gorge. The reconstruction was produced in the Virtual Anthropology Lab at University of Vienna by Stefano Benazzi, Gerhard Weber, and others. It is described in detail in “Benazzi S, Bookstein FL, Strait DS, Weber GW. A new OH5 reconstruction with an assessment of its uncertainty. J Hum Evol. 2011 Jul;61(1):75-88.
