Australopiths (4.2–1.2 mya)• The best-known, most widely distributed, and most
diverse of the early African hominins are colloquially called australopiths.
• This group of hominins is made up of two closely related genera: Australopithecus and Paranthropus.
• These hominins have an established time range of over 3 million years, stretching back as early as 4.2 mya and not becoming extinct until apparently close to 1 mya.

Australopiths (4.2–1.2 mya)• Major features
1.They are all bipedal (although not necessarily identical to Homo in this regard).
2.They all have relatively small brains (i.e., at least compared to Homo).
3.They all have large teeth, particularly the back teeth, with thick to very thick enamel on the molars.

Later More Derived Australopiths (2.5–1.2 mya)
• As they adapted to niches, australopiths became more derived and showed physical changes making them distinct from their immediate ancestors.
• There were at least three separate lineages of hominins living between 2.5 and 1 mya. – Australopithecus– Paranthropus– Homo• Habilis• Erectus• Floriensis (The hobbitt)?
