What was Australopithecus like? How did Australopithecus come about

Australopithecus is the earliest human ancestor found so far. <>

1. What was Australopithecus ancients? In our archaeological discoveries, the earliest human fossils found in the exploration of all mankind are the fossils of the Australopithecus australopithecus, which is now recognized as the ancestor of mankind, and in 1924, people found the fossils of the Australopithecus in the area near Kimberia, South Africa. These fossils are mainly fossilized skulls and jaws, teeth and a small number of limb bones, and according to the observation of the bones, scientists have determined that the owners of these bones have been similar to humans, can walk upright and can use tools, completely different from apes.

Therefore, based on these evidences, scientists believe that the origin of human beings originated in Africa, where the climate is relatively stable, the vegetation and food resources are relatively abundant, and it is suitable for the birth and survival of human australopithecus.

2. The discovery of Australopithecus:Interestingly, Australopithecus was not discovered by archaeologists, but by a quarryman at the mine. In 1924, a quarryman at the Towne Quarry in South Africa discovered a fossilized skull during blasting, which was sent to the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School in Johannesburg.

3. Characteristics of Australopithecus ancients:The medical school attaches great importance to sending a number of medical experts to study the fossils, and found that this skull is in its juvenile stage, and there are many ape-like properties, such as the brain capacity of this larvae is very small, only about the same as an adult gorilla, but there are many places that are very similar to humans, such as the teeth are very small, and the occipital foramen where the spinal cord and skull are connected is about the base of the skull**, which indicates that the ancient apes could basically walk upright. Based on these discoveries, the science of 1925 showed that Australopithecus was a human-ape-like hybrid, and was the earliest extinct ape species discovered by human beings, but unfortunately, due to its age, no complete ape-man skeleton was found, and even the skull was rare.

Australopithecus is the earliest fossil developed for the first time in modern times, was discovered in 1924, and is considered to be the earliest ancestor of humans.

Australopithecus is the fossil of Australopithecus that people found, and then Australopithecus is considered to be the ancestor of humans.

Australopithecus is believed to be the earliest beginning of humans, first discovered in 1924. Australopithecus fossils are the first fossils to be discovered in modern times, and they were discovered in South Africa. These fossils are very similar to humans, and there is evidence that they are different from apes and already possess some human characteristics.

It is a product of human evolution proposed by Darwin's theory of evolution.

Australopithecus evolved from proto-apes and Egyptian apes that lived in the Fayoum depression in Egypt 30 million to 35 million years ago. According to modern scientific research, human beings developed from a kind of ancient ape, and humans and apes have a certain close relationship, and the common distant ancestors of humans and apes lived in the proto-superior apes and Egyptian apes in the Fayoum depression of Egypt. Especially in recent decades around the 20th century, Australopithecus ramanas, forest Australopithecus and Australopithecus found in many parts of Asia, Africa and Europe are considered to be the common ancestors of humans and modern apes.

Australopithecus evolved from the Apivu plains and Egyptian apes that lived in the Fayoum depression in Egypt 30 million to 35 million years ago. According to modern scientific research, human beings developed from a kind of reed or ancient ape, and humans and apes have a certain close relationship, and the common distant ancestors of humans and apes lived in the proto-superior apes and Egyptian apes in the Fayoum depression of Egypt. Especially in recent decades before and after the 20th Zodiac Period, the Ramaucus, Australopithecus forest, and Australopithecus found in many regions of Asia, Africa, and Europe are considered to be the common ancestors of humans and modern apes.

Australopithecus is an already established creature during the transition from ape to man. It is about 3 million to 2 million years old. It was first discovered in 1924 in Towne, South Africa, the skull of a young child of Australopithecus.

From a biological point of view, Australopithecus has a physique that is very similar to that of humans, and the thumb can be held with other four fingers, which indicates that some natural tools can be used, and the pelvis is wider than that of apes, proving that they can walk upright, and the average brain volume of the skull can also be close to 500 ml, the structure is more complex, and it may even have the ability to speak.

There are about three kinds of Australopithecus once discovered, the African species of Australopithecus, that is, the slender species, the stout species and the Bao species that is more stout by the stout species, and then the Lucy mentioned in the title was discovered, which was identified as the Australopithecus Alpha species. How Australopithecus evolved into humans is still to be further studied.

But what is certain is that in the long process of evolution, learning to make and hold tools means that conscious brain activity such as thinking has appeared, so this kind of conscious agency can be said to be a qualitative leap from ape to man. Previously, there was a gap of 1 million years between Australopithecus 3 million years ago and Homo erectus, which appeared 2 million years ago. Scientists have long speculated that one of the various ancient apes should have transformed into early humans during this period.

The sensational discovery of hominin in South Africa — with his long limbs, small head and forehead the size of an orange — has led researchers to revise the chart of human evolution once again. Several different species of apes have evolved into upright walking, so why did only the first ancestors of modern humans survive?

The international high-end life science journal "e-Life" once published a study pointing out that scientists have discovered a large number of new humanoid species skeletons in South Africa and named them "Homo naledi". In September 2013, a team of archaeologists in South Africa led by American paleoanthropologist Lee Berg found 15 remains in a limestone cave about 50 kilometers northwest of Johannesburg. By all indications, the remains came from an unknown human species.

It is estimated that it is an ape, otherwise it would not be called Australopithecus, and if it is a human, it should be called a southern ancient.

I think it's still apes, and humans haven't fully evolved at that time.

Australopithecus had an average body of more than 40 kilograms, a brain volume greater than 500 milliliters, a tall stature, walked upright, and used natural tools, unable to make tools.

Able people have thin skull walls, inconspicuous caudal crest, an average brain size of 637m, lower limbs, walking upright, height, and can also make stone tools.

Homo erectus , with a brain volume of less than 1000 ml, an average height of 160 cm, walks upright.

Homo sapiens, not only can preserve natural fire, but also learn to make fire artificially and walk upright.

Australopithecus stage. Australopithecus acquires an upright state, with primitive tool-making and simple communication of language and gestures. Because the laryngeal structure of Australopithecus is not suitable for pronunciation, it can only communicate with vocalization-like language and gestures, which is also the biggest difference between humans and Australopithecus.
