Description:

Australopithecus lived 4.4 million to 1.4 million years ago (mya), during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs
4.0-3.9 million years ago
these first hominids had not yet developed the large
brain, teeth structure, and skeletal features identified as Homo.
Instead, they predate, and sometimes overlap the first Homo species
and are known as the Australopithecines. The two types of
australopithecines are gracile and robust.
Migration: was around east coast africa.
