Question

what are the differences between Australopithecus and homo?

Answer 1

Answer:

AUSTRALOPITHECUS- word derives from a Latin word 'austral' meaning southern and a Greek word 'pithecus' meaning ape. They have a smaller brain than (less intelligence, less memory, less thinking power). Heavier jaws and larger teeths enabled them to eat raw meat. They are quadrapeds which enabled them to spend life on trees due to flexible limbs and mobile ankle joints. Limited use of hands did not allow them to make stone tools.

HOMO- 'Homo' is a Latin word meaning 'man' including woman. They have a larger brain (more intelligence, more memory, more thinking power). Smaller jaws and inverted teeths enabled only to eat soft meat. These are bipedals which enabled them to walk on their two feet but for a short time. More of use of hands enabled them to make and use stone tools.............
