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.
Millions of years ago .
Austrapithecus (australopithecines)
Australopithecines are believed to have become extinct around 1 to 2 million years ago. The last known species, Australopithecus sediba, lived approximately 1.9 million years ago. They are considered to have existed before the emergence of the Homo genus, which includes modern humans.
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.
No, australopithecines are not alive today. They are an extinct group of hominins that lived between about 4 million and 2 million years ago in Africa. Australopithecines are significant in human evolution as they are considered to be some of the earliest ancestors of modern humans. Their lineage eventually led to the emergence of the genus Homo, which includes modern humans.
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.
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.
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.
