Australopithecus lived during the Pliocene epoch, which lasted from about 5.3 to 2.6 million years ago, and extended into the early Pleistocene epoch, up to around 1.4 million years ago. This genus of hominins is known for its bipedalism and is considered a crucial step in human evolution. Fossils of Australopithecus have been found primarily in Africa, indicating its adaptation to both arboreal and terrestrial environments.
