Hace 5 días · Australopithecus - Human Ancestor, Evolution, Fossils: The first species to be identified as Australopithecus received that name in 1925, and, after nearly a century of discoveries, paleoanthropologists are able draw upon a fairly rich storehouse of fossil hominin specimens from Africa. However, even after decades of research, high-quality fossils of early hominin species remain relatively ...
History of Discovery: The Taung child, found in 1924, was the first to establish that early fossil humans occurred in Africa. After Prof. Raymond Dart described it and named the species Australopithecus africanus (meaning southern ape of Africa), it took more than 20 years for the scientific community to widely accept Australopithecus as a member of the human family tree.
PALEOANTHROPOLOGY: Australopithecus (Replica - Robust Ape Man) This replica of the Robust Ape Man was discovered in 1938 in South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind. It lived in the Pleistocene Period (two to one million years ago). A debate is still ongoing if the Robust Ape Man belongs to the genus Paranthropus or the genus Australopithecus.
Australopithecus was about 4 feet high and weighed around 50 pounds. Judging just from Australopithecus pictures, they seem really small but they were really about the size of a 9-year-old modern human. These hominids were very much like humans, however. They had a brain that was larger than a chimpanzee’s brain – which meant they were ...

However, Australopithecus sediba is reported to have a reasonably well-developed masticatory system a very small brain for hominins, and perhaps more ape-like limb proportions than Homo. The ...
