25 oct. 3900000 av. J.-C. - Australopithecus

Description:

Facts

-They walked on two feet

- They were discovered in 1924

- Their name is actually in latin for "southern ape"

- Australopithecus actually didn't migrate

- used tools ( sticks not stone)

Claim : Australopithecus used tools. I think it is so awesome that they made tools. It's not complex tools but it's a tool. I mean think about it, regular apes just in general they don't even think to make anything. It's like these apes are developing something in their brain to make them smart and to actually think.
