Over a long period of time (> 0.5 Ma), boisei had a diet predominantly composed of C4 resources, most likely grasses or sedges (Turkana, Baringo, Natron, and Olduvai regions).

Massive and low-cusped postcanine teeth, thick and large mandibular corpora, and strong masticatory muscles are all characteristics of the East African hominid Paranthropus boisei that are usually thought to be adaptations for a diet of nuts, seeds, and hard fruit.

This hypothesis was based on analyses of the morphology of P. boisei, but it also received indirect support from dental microwear studies of P. robustus, a close relative. These studies found that the South African Paranthropus had molar wear consistent with it having ingested and chewed small, hard food items, if not as primary resources then at least as backup foods.

Most kids commit some acts of deviant/delinquent behavior during adolescence. According to labeling theory, this is known as
Xelga [282]

Labeling theory deals with the phenomenon of signs imposed by society, when viewed as adolescents, these labels can be imposed by the influence of peers. Labeling theorists emphasize that no human behavior is inherently deviant. It's about the influence that peers have on the delinquent, where the labels imposed by peers are far less powerful than those that are imposed by formal social control. Most children commit some form of deviant behavior, if these are the initial forms of deviant behavior, according to labeling theory  this is a primary deviance. There is also a secondary deviance, which is a phase in the theory of deviant identity formation, integrating it into the concept of self, which is being upgraded in the long run. In other words, some forms of deviant behavior will lead to more severe forms of deviant behavior. Usually secondary deviance refers to perpetrators who are already known for it.
