Reconstruction of an Australopithecus Afarensis (Southern ape from Afar), an extinct hominin that lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago. A. Afarensis was slender built, like the younger Australopithecus africanus. Thought to be more closely related to the genus Homo (which includes the modern human species Homo sapiens). From Hadar, Ethiopia. Dated 3 Million Years BC
