Australopithecus

Australopithecus (/??str?l?'p???k?s, -lo?-/ OS-tr?-lo-PITH-i-k?s;[1] from
Latin australis, meaning 'southern', and Greek p?????? (pithekos), meaning
'ape', informal australopithecine or australopith, although the term
australopithecine has a broader meaning as a member of the subtribe
Australopithecina which includes this genus as well as the Paranthropus,
Kenyanthropus, Ardipithecus, and Praeanthropus genera)? is a 'genus' of
hominins. From paleontological and archaeological evidence, the genus
Australopithecus apparently evolved in eastern Africa around 4 million years
ago before spreading throughout the continent and eventually becoming extinct
two million years ago. Australopithecus is not literally extinct (in the sense
of having no living descendants) as the Kenyanthropus, Paranthropus and Homo
genera probably emerged as sister of a late Australopithecus species such as
A. Africanus and/or A. Sediba. During that time, a number of australopithecine
species emerged, including Australopithecus afarensis, A. africanus, A.
anamensis, A. bahrelghazali, A. deyiremeda (proposed), A. garhi, and A.
sediba.
