They are able to uncover stories from the past that nobody even knew about until they discovered them. Being prove riht about a site or culture is one of the perks of the job as well.

Chimpanzee cranial capacity also averages 410 cc. But chimpanzees weigh about 24% more than the australopiths

Time scale The Pliocene Epoch extends from 5.3 million years ago to 2.58 million years ago. This epoch was also a period of cooling down for the Earth after the warm time period of the Miocene Epoch. There was also more advanced primate development of the ancestors of humans. It follows the Miocene Epoch (23 million to 5.3 million years ago) and is followed by the Pleistocene Epoch (2.58 million to 11‚700 years ago).

and analyzed by a team of scientists and researchers‚ suggested that our humansitic traits did not arise as a single developmental process (1) (2). Several key factors of evolutionary influence may have enabled humanoids to evolve in "earlier Australopithecus ancestors between 3 and 4 million years ago"‚ while others could have emerged much later (1). The sceintists took an innovative approach by integrating paleoclimate data along with new fossils‚ archaeological remains‚ and biological studies

Those skulls had the most similar traits to humans and were bipedal (walked on two feet). The rest of the skulls were quadrupedal. I predict that because of the ardipithecus and australopithecus environment and the way they lived is what made them look a lot like humans. Even though all of them are now extinct we were able to conclude how they looked and the way they lived because of their skulls. Conclusion: While conducting

According to the analysis of some footprint fossils left by Australopithecus‚ this species had already learned to walked without their forelegs. This event occurred about 3.6 MYA as a result of the changing in skeletal structure (especially in pelvis). Although there is no evidence to support that Australopithecus was small enough to produce tools by their hands‚ bipedalism is still a great progress it could made in its evolution because
