How did the australopithecus genus differ from the homo genus?

Answer 1

homo habilis lived between 2 and 1.5 million years ago, and was no more that 1.5 meres tall. Scientists believe that this was the first member of our genus.

Homo habilis had a larger brain than the australopithecines, also homo habilis had a smaller, less projecting face.

The teeth of homo habilis show a more parobola-shaped jaw and narrower back teeth than the australopithecines.

Homo habilis had made simple tools, whereas australopithecines did not

Answer 2

The Australopithecus genus differs from the Homo (human) genus in a couple different ways. For example, most members of Australopithecus, an extinct genus of hominid, were completely covered in hair from head to toe.

Answer 3

The Australopithecus genus had smaller brains and more pronounced brow ridges compared to the Homo genus, which had larger brains and a more complex tool-making ability. The Homo genus also had a more upright posture and more advanced social behaviors than the Australopithecus genus.

Answer 4

Homo Habilis brains began to develop distinct frontal lobes, while the homo australo's brain appeared apelike.
