The exact reasons for the extinction of Australopithecus are unclear. However, factors such as climate change, competition with other species for resources, and environmental changes may have played a role. Additionally, their limited ability to adapt to changing conditions could have contributed to their eventual extinction.
Homo habilis and Homo erectus are thought to have coexisted with Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus boisei.
Australopithecus anamensis lived approximately 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch.
Australopithecus afarensis is one of the earliest known bipedal species, but it is not definitively the first one. Other species before Australopithecus afarensis also showed some bipedal characteristics. However, Australopithecus afarensis is a well-known example of an early hominin that exhibited consistent bipedalism.
Ardipithecus Ramidus, Australopithecus Ramidus, Australopithecus Afarensis (Lucy), Australopithecus Afracanus, Australopithecus Robustus/Homo Habilis, Homo-Erectus, Homo-Ergaster, Homo-Sapien, Homo-Sapien Neanderthal, Homo-Sapien Sapien.
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.

It is not possible to determine the exact cause of Lucy's death, as she lived over 3 million years ago. Speculations suggest she may have died due to natural causes, predation, disease, or environmental factors. The fossil record does not provide conclusive evidence about the specific circumstances of her death.
Australopithecus is a latin name.Australopithecus literally means "southern ape". "Austral" southern or South from Latin and "pithecus" from "pithēkos" meaning "ape" in greek. The name now applies to many different species besides africanus including Australopithecus anamensis, Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus garhi, Australopithecus boisei, Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus sediba.
they did a burial
Did Australopithecus Celebrate? If so how did they celebrate?
the Australopithecus were five feet tall
The plural form of Australopithecus is Australopithecines.
Australopithecus likely used simple tools made of stone, bone, or wood such as rocks for pounding and breaking nuts, or sharp-edged stones for cutting meat. These early hominins did not create tools as sophisticated as later human ancestors, but their use of basic tools for scavenging and processing food supported their survival and development.
The Australopithecus Africanus were Russovores.
Australopithecus was about the size and strength of a chimpanzee.
what tools did Australopithecus use
Because they had to hunt for food and heaps got killed hunting then the others starved.
