Lucy was named Australopithecus afarensis after being discovered and confirmed as the earliest human ancestor 1974, and was considered as the common ancestor of Australopithecus and Homo sapiens.

Australopithecus is an early human fossil close to apes, which lasted from Pliocene to Middle Pleistocene. The average height of male Australopithecus australis is 1.52m, and that of female Australopithecus australis is1.25m. The skull is like a chimpanzee, with big jaws and teeth, small skull, big face, muscular body, relatively longer upper limbs than human beings, walking upright on two legs and being able to climb trees. The skull and brain are slightly spherical, and the brain volume is 440 ml to 530 ml. The bone wall is not thick, the brow bone is developed and the orbit is high. There are great differences between men and women. The average brain capacity of homo habilis is larger than that of Australopithecus and smaller than that of Homo erectus, with 700-800 ml for males and 500-600 ml for females. The maxilla and mandible are smaller than Australopithecus, which are within the range of Homo erectus and Homo sapiens, but the front teeth, canine teeth and posterior teeth are larger, which may be accompanied by stone tools.

Homo erectus China, commonly known as Homo erectus, was first discovered in the Indian island of Pawa, and later found in China except America and Oceania. The famous Yuanmou people, Lantian people and Beijingers are all homo erectus. There are also catching wow apes, Heidelberg apes, Atlas apes and so on. I'm too lazy to write just one example here. The Peking man found on the northern slope of Gulong Mountain near Zhoukoudian belongs to Homo erectus, whose scientific name is Homo erectus subspecies Beijing. Peking man's skull is flat, his forehead leans back, there is a thick round pillow above his eyes, his mouth is more prominent than that of modern people, his jaw has no chin and his teeth are thicker. The thigh is similar to modern people in bone, length, shape and muscle attachment. The average adult brain volume is 1088 ml.
