Why are we not considering the possibility that other hominids ate Paranthropus? Not that homo has the exclusive claim on making tools. Far from it.

I believe that throughout the ages lots of different apes (and other animals) would have had the ability to manufacture tools, with varying degrees of sophistication. I just don’t think “Paranthropus made stone tools” necessarily follows from the finds.
