However, archaeologists like Meadow (1997) disagree, on the grounds that the remains of the "Equus ferus caballus" horse are difficult to distinguish from other equid species such as "Equus asinus" (donkeys) or "Equus hemionus" (onagers). An alleged clay model of a horse has been found in Mohenjo-Daro and an alleged horse figurine in Periano Ghundai in the Indus Valley.

Instead of it being a direct ancestor of later hominins and thereby of humans, some researchers believe that "A. africanus" evolved into "Paranthropus", and specifically that "P. robustus" descended from "A. africanus". Both "P. robustus" and "A. africanus" crania seem very alike despite the more heavily built (robust) features of "P. robustus", which, like those of the modern gorilla, are adaptations for heavy chewing. "A. africanus", on the other hand, had a cranium which quite closely resembled that of a modern chimpanzee; yet both
