An important part of our family tree, Australopithecus , literally meaning 'southern ape, is now extinct, but the genus was made of five distinct species: A. afarensus, A. africanus, A. anamensis, A. garhi, and A. sediba. With their various characteristics, they each contributed to the evolution of Homo sapiens.
