Australopithecus africanus. Discovered: 1947 by Robert Broom and John Robinson in Sterkfontein, South Africa Age: 2.5 million years old The skull was nicknamed 'Mrs Ples' because it was originally considered to be an adult female from the genus Plesianthropus. Later, it was decided that the skull was actually an Australopithecus africanus.

Australopithecus africanus Alchetron, the free social encyclopedia
Australopithecus africanus is an extinct species of australopithecine which lived between about 3.3 and 2.1 million years ago in the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene of South Africa. The species has been recovered from Taung, Sterkfontein, Makapansgat, and Gladysvale.The first specimen, the Taung child, was described by anatomist Raymond Dart in 1924, and was the first early hominin found.

The australopiths are a group of early hominins (humans and their close extinct relatives) that lived in Africa between approximately 4.1 and 1.4 million years ago. Formerly known as the australopithecines, they are not a "natural" group, in that they do not represent all of the descendants of a single common ancestor (i.e., they are not a "clade"). Rather, they are grouped together.
Australopithecus africanus
The naming of Australopithecus africanus in 1925, based on the Taung Child, heralded a new era in human evolutionary studies and turned the attention of the then Eurasian-centric.

Paranthropus boisei is a species of australopithecine from the Early Pleistocene of East Africa about 2.5 to 1.15 million years ago. The holotype specimen, OH 5, was discovered by palaeoanthropologist Mary Leakey in 1959 at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania and described by her husband Louis a month later. It was originally placed into its own genus as "Zinjanthropus boisei", but is now relegated to.

History of Discovery: The Taung child, found in 1924, was the first to establish that early fossil humans occurred in Africa. After Prof. Raymond Dart described it and named the species Australopithecus africanus (meaning southern ape of Africa), it took more than 20 years for the scientific community to widely accept Australopithecus as a member of the human family tree.
Evolution Australopithecus africanus [GEOLINO]
Australopithecus africanus is the most primitive of this trio. The lineage dates to 3.3 million years ago and combines human features with ape-like attributes including long, tree climbing-arms.

Australopithecus, (Latin: "southern ape") (genus Australopithecus), group of extinct primates closely related to, if not actually ancestors of, modern human beings and known from a series of fossils found at numerous sites in eastern, north-central, and southern Africa.The various species of Australopithecus lived 4.4 million to 1.4 million years ago (mya), during the Pliocene and.

Australopithecus africanus was the first fossil hominin discovered in Africa. In 1924, Raymond Dart (see his biographical sketch this chapter) identified the face, mandible, and endocast as being that of a juvenile bipedal ape (see Figure 15.1). Eugène Dubois's discovery of the Javanese Homo erectus fossils in 1891 refuted the reigning.

2. Early A ustralopithecus. The origin of the genus Australopithecus remained elusive until new discoveries from the Early Pliocene in eastern Africa began to shed some light (White et al. 2006).Based on the currently available fossil evidence, Au. anamensis is the earliest species of the genus. It is documented from deposits in Kenya and Ethiopia, dated between 4.2 and 3.9 Ma (Leakey et al.

Australopithecus - Human Ancestor, African Species, Fossils: In 1925 South African anthropologist Raymond Dart coined the genus name Australopithecus to identify a child's skull recovered from mining operations at Taung in South Africa. He called it Australopithecus africanus, meaning "southern ape of Africa." From then until 1960 almost all that was known about australopiths came from.

Ronald Clarke believes that there were two species of australopith at Sterkfontein. He has assigned the species name Australopithecus prometheus to the Little Foot material, as well as two individuals that others assign to Au. africanus, one from Sterkfontein and the other from Makapansgat. While the phylogeny is unknown, Little Foot precedes.
