Australopithecus boisei was discovered by Mary Leaky in the Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. It lived approxiamately 2-1.3Ma and was even more robust than its contemporary, Australopithecus robustus. A. boisei had a large mandible and dentition, and a prominent midsagittal crest that offered attachment support for powerful masseter muscles.
