About a day in A. afarensis life.
Introduction:
The first fossil hominin which was discovered in Africa was A. afarensis .The fossil was essential for the study of human evolution.
Explanation of Solution
The lifestyle of Australopithecines is not much disclosed, but according to the sources they were herbivores and would eat plants and vegetables which were hard and brittle.So in a day, she would climb up the trees to feed herself and to find shelter.They would either go for carving the tools out of stone or sharping and modifying the tools. As these species are a bipedal, they would carry weights while walking upright.
Thus, Australopithecus afarensis’s lived in between 4 to 2.9mya. For example- Lucy was discovered and was the member of this species.
