Australopithecine refers to a group of extinct hominins that lived in Africa between approximately 4 million and 2 million years ago. The term is derived from Latin and Greek, meaning "southern ape," reflecting their discovery in southern Africa and their ape-like characteristics. Australopithecines are significant in human evolution, as they are among the earliest known ancestors of modern humans, displaying both bipedalism and adaptations for climbing. Notable species include Australopithecus afarensis, exemplified by the famous fossil "Lucy."

How much time does an archaeology cover?

Archaeology is a sub-discipline of Anthropology which is a science/art concerned with the study of humanity. Therefore Archaeology covers the entirety of human history from when we evolved from Australopithicene about 4 million years ago. Most Archaeology is more concerned with the last 25,000 years though, with the origins of civilization etc.
