Australopithecus
The Australopithecus has an ape-like face with a flat nose, strong protruding jaw and small canine teeth.
Australopithecus fossils were found in a South African lime quarry in the early part of the 20th century. Here, an Australopithecus prehistoric woman is on display at a natural history museum in Barcelona, Spain.
This Australopithecus skull replica illustrates the trademark protruding jaw structure.
