Australopithecus africanus likely had a varied diet consisting of fruits, plants, seeds, nuts, and possibly insects or small animals. Their diet would have been primarily plant-based, but they may have incorporated some animal protein into their meals as well.
All the australopithecines lived in what is now modern day Africa and finds of africanus have been limited to Southern Africa.
An austrolopithecus is an early hominid (early ancestor of humans) that was mostly ape, but what distinguished them to be human is that they walked upright. They lived about 3.5 million years ago, and is the oldest known. You may also know of it as Lucy, discovered by Donald Johanson in the 1970s. Lucy was named after hearing the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds being played over and over again during the celebration for finding Lucy. Recently, they discovered a new hominid though and is something like Artolopithecus, something like that. Hope this helps!
Australopithecus africanus was an early hominid, an australopithecine, who lived between 2-3 million years ago in thePliocene.[2] In common with the older Australopithecus afarensis,A. africanus was slenderly built, or gracile, and was thought to have been a direct ancestor ofmodern humans. Fossil remains indicate thatA. africanus was significantly more like modern humans than A. afarensis, with a more human-like cranium permitting a largerbrain and more humanoid facial features. A. africanus has been found at only four sites in southern Africa - Taung (1924), Sterkfontein (1935), Makapansgat(1948) and Gladysvale(1992).[1]
Australopithecus africanus was not "created" in the traditional sense. It was a species that lived in Africa between 3 and 2 million years ago. It is believed to have evolved from earlier Australopithecus species.
