Australopithecus afarensis is an extinct species of australopithecine which lived from about 3.9–2.9 million years ago (mya) in the pliocene of east africa. the first fossils were discovered in the 1930s, but major fossil finds would not take place until the 1970s.

Australopithecus Afarensis Objects Emuseum Australopithecus afarensis is one of the longest lived and best known early human species—paleoanthropologists have uncovered remains from more than 300 individuals!. Australopithecus afarensis is one of the best known early hominins thanks to an extraordinary skeleton known as lucy. find out what we've learned about this species and important fossils. This analysis, conducted by researchers from eberhard karls university of tübingen and published in the journal of human evolution, focuses on muscle attachment sites in the hands of three australopithecus species: a. afarensis, a. africanus, and a. sediba. The best known member of australopithecus is au. afarensis, a species represented by more than 400 fossil specimens from virtually every region of the hominin skeleton.

The first specimens attributed to australopithecus afarensis were discovered in the early 1970s by researchers working in the afar region of ethiopia at the site known as hadar. A new species name, australopithecus afarensis, was therefore created for them in 1978. this species is now represented by several hundred fossils from east africa. Scholars believe the hominin was likely either australopithecus afarensis or kenyathropus platyops. the dikika’s child is an even more complete skeleton of australopithecus afarensis than lucy found at the site of dikika in ethiopia. While lucy lived 3.2 million years ago and belongs to australopithecus afarensis, the exact species designation for little foot has been the subject of recent debate.
