Australopithecine

Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist known for her studies on social behavior and anthropological theory. Louis and Mary Leakey were a couple of British archaeologists and paleoanthropologists known for their discoveries of early human fossils and artifacts in East Africa. While all three were prominent figures in anthropology, they pursued different subfields within the discipline.

This is a good guide: http://pb-archaeology.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-did-archaeology-start-as-field-of.html

However archaeology as a "profession" began much later after an increased interest in the Victorian times.

It is only very recently that more and more rules are being put in place to protect artifacts of the past.

The discovery of Lucy, an ancient hominid fossil, was fascinating to scientists because she provided crucial insights into human evolution. Lucy's skeleton revealed characteristics of bipedalism that helped researchers better understand how early hominids walked upright, which was a significant development in human evolution. Additionally, Lucy's age and completeness made her a key specimen for studying our evolutionary history.

Yes, Australopithecus is a genus of hominids. They were early human ancestors that lived in Africa between 4.2 and 1.9 million years ago. Australopithecus species are known for their bipedal locomotion, although they had smaller brains and more ape-like features compared to modern humans.

An explorer typically uses a variety of tools for navigation and survival, such as maps, compasses, GPS devices, and binoculars. They may also carry tools for cutting or clearing through vegetation, such as machetes or axes. Additionally, explorers often use cameras or video recorders to document their expeditions.

All the australopithecines lived in what is now modern day Africa and finds of africanus have been limited to Southern Africa.

Spears and Axes

they use there hands and butts ya butts

Australopithecus have only been found in Africa and NO fossil primates have ever been found in Australia. The book probably mistakenly derived "Austro-" from Australia, when in fact it comes from the Latin word australis, meaning "south".

Of course Australia is also derived from this word, Australis is Latin for "the southern one".

Apes are old world primates (in Asia, Africa, and Europe). Monkeys are primarily in the new world (North and South America)>

It was one of the first hominids that was was found almost complete. The name "Lucy" came from a Beatles song the people digging the skeleton up listening to.

Lucy was special because Don Johanson found half of her whole skeleton, and was the oldest at that time. She was named Lucy because Don Johanson was listening to the beetles song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" on his tape recorder.

Australopithecus sediba was created in 2010.

after the ice age

The height varied between about 107 cm (3'6") and 152 cm (5'0").

A lepidopterist is a person who studies butterflies and moths. This person uses tools such as a butterfly net, a jar with chloroform for humanely killing samples, a microscope and a mounting board with pins.

With the help of reavers and the George drug.

Lucy was found in Hadar, Ethiopia in 1974. She was one of 360 other hominin specimens found there, and is believed to have lived over 3 million years ago.

The first tool was the hand axe, which is a stone tool, made by chipping a stone with another stone to obtain the desired shape and edge (hence, the Stone Age).

They were likely frugivores, and despite the lack of the opposable big toes of other apes, they had long, strong arms, curved fingers, and a wide frame that allowed them to climb trees quite well. The big toe is alligned with the other toes to provide the final push of in bipedal walking. This likely evolved because bipedalism is a very efficient way of traveling, and in their scattered landscape of trees and savanna, that's very useful. They weren't yet the master hunters of their decendants, but would occasionally scavange from kills and use rocks to break open bones to get at the marrow. When little fruit was in season, they likely used sticks to dig for roots and tubers. This combined lifestyle of living in the trees and on the ground allowed a very successful species, australopithecus afarensis to survive for over 900 thousand years.

they died and became extinct[whats up good luck on your serch]ps[i know i spelled serch wrong watev

about 3.5 million years they survived

although I could be wrong

Australopithecine Afarensis, an early hominid, lived in shelters as they found them. Caves, if available , trees if need-be , primitive lean-to type things that had some natural beginnings.Thickets that had thorns would keep predators from having easy access. Just in small goups on the ground when no real shelter was available. Look up Lucy, the most famous early hominid skeleton found for more info on this fascinating possible relative to homosapiens. [That's us]

FYI for our members of faith. I have no problem with having Creationist and Evolutionist beliefs concomittently, within species groups.
