Thanks for the nice write-up, John! I also felt that the large sizes are not too surprising when viewed in light of P. boisei skulls and teeth, and it's hard for me to picture the KNM-ER 101000 hand attached to a very small body.

I agree with the likely bias in attributing small postcrania to Paranthropus and large to Homo, but I've also wondered about the possibility that body size in P. boisei and P. robustus could be more different than previously recognized (especially after publication of the SWT1/HR-2 specimen)

One of the topics my student Connor Fogo is working on. Some, not clear how much, of these South African samples is likely sediba, too.
