AUSTRALOPITHECINE
(Redirected from Australopithecines)
The term 'australopithecine' refers to two very closely related hominin genera:
★ ''Australopithecus''
★ ''Paranthropus''
When used alone, the term refers to both genera together. ''Australopithecus'' is sometimes referred to as the gracile (slender) australopithecines. They appeared earlier in the fossil record and gave rise to ''Paranthropus'', which are often called the robust australopithecines.
