Some of the earliest people on Earth, the Australopithecus species, were known for being the first people to walk upright. Fossils from this species exist that are millions of years old.
Fossils of the knee joint and pelvis of Australopithecus anamensis and Australopithecus afarensis show adaptations for bipedal locomotion, such as a valgus knee angle and a broader, shorter pelvis. Also, the position of the foramen magnum at the base of the skull suggests an upright posture. Lastly, footprints in volcanic ash at Laetoli in Tanzania show bipedal walking by Australopithecus afarensis.
May dalawang uri ng australopithecus: ang Australopithecus afarensis, na kinabibilangan ni Lucy, at ang Australopithecus africanus. Ang mga australopithecus ay sinaunang mga hominid na nabuhay sa mga rehiyon ng Africa mula mga 4 hanggang 2 milyong taon na ang nakalilipas. Ang kanilang katawan ay may halong tao at unggoy na katangian.
The fossilized remains of Australopithecus afarensis were given the nickname "Lucy," after the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
According to anthropology, Australopithecus Afarensis did have opposable thumbs. This construct, it is thought, gave it the ability to form tools and hunt for food more efficiently.
Both Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus boisei were robust australopithecines with large jaws and teeth adapted for a diet of tough, hard foods. They both lived in East Africa around 2-1 million years ago and are thought to be closely related species in the evolutionary tree of hominins.
Well they invented fire, discovered water.
