Australopithecine

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.

Austrolopithecus were the first humans known to man and they did not use many tools at all because they were part of the hunter-gatherer group. Next came the Homo-Habilis, which means handi-man so they must have used some tools that gave them this name. After the came the Homo-Erectus, Homo-Sapiens, then us, the Homo-Sapiens Sapiens. After the Homo-Habilis started to use tools, they will have passed down the knowledge and structure of tools to the other species of humans.

There were five species of Australopithecus: Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, Australopithecus anamnesis, Australopithecus garhi and Australopithecus sediba. The Australopithecus afarensis remains in Ethiopia are better known as Lucy and this species lived between 3.85 and 2.95 million years ago. The africanus lived 3.3 to 2.1 million years ago. The anamnesis lived 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago. The garhi lived about 2.5 million years ago and the sediba lived between 1.97 and 1.98 million years ago.

They lived in Africa, (specifically Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania) in a very harsh landscape, made of very few trees. It is the reason why they became bipedal.

court jesters would carry a mock scepter called a bauble which was adorned by a carved head or inflated bladder of an animal

Australopithecus afarensis used stone tools, according to the California Academy of Sciences. Bones that are believed to be about 3.4 million years old show evidence that this hominin used stone tools to cut up meat.

There is no evidence of Australopithecus fabricating ANYTHING. They did not make tools, they did not make containers, they did not make clothes.

They wore nothing contrived.

Australopithecus get their water from streams and lakes. Australopithecus get their water from streams and lakes.

due to climate changes :)

Kreg tools can be used for lots of woodworking projects. Building wood cabinets or any other such wood project can be accomplished through the tools available through kreg tools

There is no evidence that Austrlopithecenes created any type of art. Art such as carved objects and paintings are not seen in the record until the part of the brain associated with these activities became more developed in species of our own genus, Homo.

In 1974 he worked with Mary Leaky and in 1976 the team he was on discovered fossil footprints of an ancient hominid. This work was done in Kenya, Africa.
Later he assisted Donald Johanson in analyzing the fossil skeleton known as "Lucy." White was a listed author, along with Johanson, of the 1978 paper that announced their finding that Lucy was not a specimen of Australopithecus africanus but a different species they named Australopithecus afarensis. Lucy's remains were found in Ethiopia.

At 3.2 million years of age, Lucy's was the oldest nearly complete hominid skeleton to come to light up to that time.

In 1992 the team he now lead found a layer of 4.4 million-year-old sediment with bones of around 17 individuals. Which were 2 million years older than Lucy. These were found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. They named the groups as if it were one, called Ardi.

White said that the specimens belonged to a different genus, he it named Ardipithecus ( ground ape) as opposed to the tree-dwelling apes of today. These hominids are now known as Ardipithecus ramidus.

While Lucy was exclusively bipedal, Ardi was capable of walking both upright and on all fours. Her hands were flexible for a variety of tasks, but suitable for walking on all fours.
While modern apes walk with their weight on their knuckles, Ardi would have walked with her weight resting on the palms of her hands.

The jaws of A. ramidus males lacked the large canine teeth that chimpanzees and other apes
use to express aggression, particularly when competing with other males for access to females.
It has been said that this made a male less aggressive but more providing as he would walk upright and carry items as well.

A painter may use visual elements such as color, composition, and subject matter, along with technique and style, to convey their argument or message through their artwork. Utilizing these tools allows them to communicate their perspective or to evoke emotions and reactions from viewers.

Modern humans have inherited certain traits from Australopithecus afarensis, such as bipedalism (walking on two legs), similar dental patterns, and the potential for longer childhood development periods. These traits are believed to have played a role in the evolution of hominins leading up to modern humans.
