Australopithecines are an extinct group of hominins that lived in Africa between 4.2 million and 1.4 million years ago. They are considered to be the potential ancestors of modern humans and exhibited a mix of human-like and ape-like characteristics. Notable Australopithecus species include Australopithecus afarensis, which includes the famous fossil "Lucy."
