See Nutcracker Man, the OED cryptically says. So I did:
"Nutcracker Man n. (a nickname for) an East African fossil hominid, Australopithecus boisei, with massive jaws and powerful premolar teeth, which was the maker of the oldest stone tools known, esp. the specimen discovered by Mary Leakey at Olduvai, Tanzania, in 1959.
Similar remains, including the characteristic large premolar teeth, have also been found in South Africa."
