What Were Australopithecines Like?

Australopithecus (scientific name Australopithecus) is an extinct genus of humans. It is the late representative of the person who is forming. Survived from about 5.5 million years ago to 1.3 million years ago.

In Africa, a large number of fossils of the southern ape flower have been found. These fossils have the same characteristics, such as being able to walk upright, but there are some differences between them. As a result, the researchers classified the materials they discovered into four species: Alfa, African (slim), Stout, and Bower. Paleoanthropologists have many different opinions about how these four species evolved, who has an ancestor and descendant relationship with whom, and who has directly developed into us. Some people think that the evolution from the earliest Alfa species was divided into two branches, one that developed into a stout species through the African species, and eventually became extinct about 1.5 million years ago; the other one is in the direction of human evolution Through capable people,
Its physical characteristics are: the position of the foramen of the skull is close to the center of the skull base, and the pelvis is wider than the ape. The southern ancient apes known today include several different species. Some have stout bodies and larger brains; some have shorter bodies and smaller brains; some have more obvious ape-like characteristics, and some obviously belong to human types. However, they all have the common feature that they can already walk upright, use natural tools, leave the forest, and move in open areas. [1]
The earliest person in the world: Australopithecus is an extinct genus of humans. It is considered to be the first stage of the transformation from ape to human, and it is human beings 2 million years ago. (Guinness)
