Australopithecus (extinct genus) (Hominidae (family), Hominoidea (superfamily), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Genus containing several species of extinct early homonins that were closely related to, if not actually ancestors of, modern human beings, known from a series of fossils found at numerous sites in eastern, central, and southern Africa. The various species of Australopithecus lived during the Pliocene Epoch, which lasted from 5.3 to 1.8 million years ago. As characterized by the fossil evidence, they bore a combination of human- and apelike traits.

| Chinese (traditional) ..... 含數個早期人科動物絕滅種的屬，若非現代人類的祖先，血緣也與人類極其接近，於非洲東部、中部與南部多個遺址發現的一系列化石而為世人所知。各品種的南方人猿生於上新世，即五百三十萬年前至一百八十萬年前。從化石證據可發現，南方人猿同時具有人類與人猿的特徵。 |
| Dutch ..... Genus van diverse uitgestorven soorten vroege mensachtigen die nauw verwant waren aan de moderne mens of daar een voorouder van zijn. Van deze soorten zijn een aantal fossielen gevonden op diverse locaties in het oosten, midden en zuiden van Afrika. Ze leefden tijdens het Plioceen, de periode die duurde van 5,3 tot 1,8 miljoen jaar geleden. De fossielen duiden erop dat ze zowel menselijke als aapachtige kenmerken hadden. |
