Figure 3.2 Changes in third molar morphology and stable carbon isotopes in Kolpochoerus and Hylochoerus. Right panel: chronological ranges for each species
(grey bars). First and last occurrences follow White (1995), Souron (2012), Souron et al. (2015a), and personal observations. Abbreviations: deh, K. deheinzelini; afa,
K. afarensis; lim, K. limnetes; old, K. ‘olduvaiensis’ (in need of revision); pai, K. paiceae; coo, K. cookei; phi, K. phillipi; maj, K. majus; mei, H. meinertzhageni. A selection of
upper third molars in occlusal and lateral views illustrate the morphological changes and the omnivorous versus herbivorous morphotypes. Left panel: stable
carbon isotopes of enamel of Kolpochoerus and Hylochoerus (personal compilation of literature, full list of references available on request).
Figure 3.3 Changes in third molar morphology and stable carbon isotopes in Metridiochoerus and Phacochoerus. Right panel: chronological ranges for each spe-
cies (grey bars). First and last occurrences follow White (1995), Souron (2012), and personal observations. Abbreviations: Met, Metridiochoerus sp.; sha, M. shawi; pha,
‘Sus’ phacochoeroides (needs to be transferred into Metridiochoerus); and, M. andrewsi; com, M. compactus; hop, M. hopwoodi; mod, M. modestus; Pha, Phacochoerus
sp.; afr, Ph. africanus; aet, Ph. aethiopicus. A selection of upper third molars in occlusal and lateral views illustrate the morphological changes and the omnivorous
versus herbivorous morphotypes. Left panel: stable carbon isotopes of enamel of Metridiochoerus and Phacochoerus (personal compilation of literature, full list of
