Australopithecus was smaller, lighter and had a completely different skull shape than the gorilla, and, most significantly, walked upright. There are a number of other differences, too. All paleontologists today accept that Australopithecus was a part of the humanoid evolutionary chain, and not a species of ape or gorilla.

What is the difference between Gracile and Robustus Australopithecus?

Gracile Australopithecus, such as Australopithecus afarensis, had a more slender build and smaller molars, suggesting a more varied diet. Robust Australopithecus, like Australopithecus robustus, had a more robust skull and larger molars, indicating a diet of tougher plant foods. These differences reflect adaptations to different ecological niches within early hominin evolution.
