aug 29, 3999499 BC - Australopithecus (Southern ape)
Description:
Fact 1: Small, chimp-like
Fact 2: Ate plants, no meat
Fact 3: Biped
Claim: Australopithecus had a small brain. I know this because Australopithecus doesn't have a big forehead and the skull is pretty small, leaving less room for brains.
Migration path: Australopithecus stayed in Africa, due to not enough adaptations, like not enough food sources.
