Australopithecus adapted to its environment primarily through bipedalism, which allowed it to travel efficiently across the mixed habitats of open savannas and wooded areas. This adaptation not only freed their hands for tool use and foraging but also helped them spot predators from a distance. Additionally, their diet was versatile, including fruits, leaves, and tubers, enabling them to thrive in varying ecological conditions. These adaptations were crucial for survival and laid the groundwork for the evolution of later hominins.
Gracile Australopithecus, such as Australopithecus afarensis, had a more slender build and smaller molars, suggesting a more varied diet. Robust Australopithecus, like Australopithecus robustus, had a more robust skull and larger molars, indicating a diet of tougher plant foods. These differences reflect adaptations to different ecological niches within early hominin evolution.

from the song "lucy in the sky with diamonds".. this is right but the story behind the naming was incomplete. Don Johanson was closely examining the remains when he got that clue that it was a female bone. The song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds was gently playing while Johanson is sipping through a bottle of beer. ( Source : Reader's Digest, 1983)

The Australopithecus Africanus, ancestors of modern man, behaved similarly to chimpanzees. They lived on land and in trees and were avid hunters. They were social creatures that nurtured their young and had the ability to quickly adapt to changes in climate and environment.
