What is one of the ways australopithecus differed from apes?

What is the early ancestors of humans?

The ancestor of modern homo sapiens is Australopithecus Afarensis. Australopithecus's ancestor is a giant oragutan-like primate. Its real cool. You should look it up. The ancestor of the giant oragutan i just mentioned is the first monkey-like animal ever (found). Its called Plesidapis. It sort of looks like a monkey type thing but at the same time it looks like a small dog with a monkey tail. Its weird. But cool. You should look it up. (oh, and if you ever do look it up on images or somthing, don't pay any attention to the ones that look like raccoons. They did not look like raccoons. Trust me. I got a seventh sense about these things).
