====Others==== In 2015, Ethiopian palaeoanthropologist [[Yohannes Haile-Selassie]] and colleagues described the 3.5β3.2 Ma ''[[A. deyiremeda]]'' based on three jawbones from the [[Afar Region]], Ethiopia. They noted that, though it shares many similarities with ''Paranthropus'', it may not have been closely related because it lacked enlarged molars which characterize the genus.<ref>{{cite journal|first1=Y.|last1=Haile-Selassie|author-link=Yohannes Haile-Selassie|first2=L.|last2=Gilbert|first3=S.
