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.
Australopithecines can be distinguished from robust Australopithecines by their smaller size and more gracile (slender) jaw and teeth. Robust Australopithecines, on the other hand, have larger bodies, more robust skull features, and large, thickly enameled molars for chewing tough vegetation.

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.

Australopithecus is the name for an extinct genus of small-brained, large-toothed bipedal hominin species which lived in Africa between one and four million years ago. They widely accepted as being the genus from which our own genus (Homo) developed.
