Dietary hypothesis
A theory developed by J.T. Robinson to explain the South African australopithecine variations. The hypothesis relates the differences in the gracile and robust South African australopithecines to ecological differences that were reflected in dietary adaptations. The gracile australopithecines are regarded as omnivores and the robust australopithecines as vegetarians.
