because they used to eat each other. Till none is left.
The reasons for the extinction of australopithecines are not definitively known. Factors such as environmental changes, competition from other hominid species, and potential diseases or natural disasters could have played a role in their extinction. It is likely a combination of these factors that led to their eventual disappearance.
Homo erectus coexisted with several species of australopithecines including Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, and possibly Australopithecus garhi. These australopithecines lived before the appearance of Homo erectus and were part of the evolutionary lineage that eventually led to humans.
Australopithecines appeared on Earth before Homo habilis, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens.
Homo habilis was contemporaneous with australopithecines but had a significantly larger brain, indicating a more advanced level of cognitive capabilities and tool use.
There is no definitive evidence to suggest that australopithecines had less hair than Homo habilis. However, some researchers believe that Homo habilis may have had relatively less body hair compared to australopithecines, based on factors like tool use and adaptation to different environments.
Australopithecines are believed to have lived in Africa between 4 million to 2 million years ago. These early hominins are considered to be the ancestors of modern humans.

Austrapithecus (australopithecines)
Australopithecus is a genus, it has no plural. You could speak of the Australopithecines though, which are the extinct human-like primates of the genus.
Gorillas and chimps weren't around when the Australopithecines was
Why did the dinosaurs go extinct? Humans will never go extinct!
NO
The Australopithecines did not have religion or ceremonies. The earliest evidence for brain development sufficient to allow symbolic behaviour and these kind of behaviours is associated with Neanderthal which appeared 600,000 years after the last Australopithecines disappeared.
Missouri is a state - it is not a living thing so it cannot go extinct.
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."
