New Evidence Supports Bipedalism For Early Hominids
Australopithecus (pronounced AW-struh/strey-loh-PITH-i-kuhs; from Latin australis "southern", Greek πίθηκος pithekos "ape") is an extinct genus of hominids. From the evidence gathered by scientists, it appears that the Australopithecus genus evolved in eastern Africa around 4 MYA before spreading throughout the continent & eventually becoming extinct 2 MYA. During this time period a number of australopith species emerged.
