Difference between Hand and Paranthropus

Hand vs. Paranthropus

A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the end of the forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, and lemurs. Paranthropus is a genus of extinct hominin which contains two widely accepted species: P. robustus and P. boisei.

Acheulean

Acheulean (also Acheulian and Mode II), from the French after the type site of Saint-Acheul, is an archaeological industry of stone tool manufacture characterized by the distinctive oval and pear-shaped "hand axes" associated with Homo erectus and derived species such as Homo heidelbergensis.
