The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.
Evolutionary Tree Information: This species may be a direct descendant of Au. anamensis and may be ancestral to later species of Paranthropus, Australopithecus, and Homo. AL 288-1. âLucyâ (AL 288-1) is an adult female, 3.2 million-year-old A. afarensis skeleton found at Hadar, Ethiopia.Because she could walk upright on the ground and climb trees, she and other members of her species were able to use resources from woodlands, grasslands, and other diverse environments.he Laetoli footprints were most likely made by Australopithecus afarensis, an early human whose fossils were found in the same sediment layer. The entire footprint trail is almost 27 m (88 ft) long and includes impressions of about 70 early human footprints.
Later, between 1999 and 2003, a team headed by Sileshi Semaw, of Indiana University, discovered fragmentary remains from nine separate Ardipithecus ramidus individuals at As Duma in the Kada Gona valley on the western margin of the Afar.Between apes and australopithecines. recent paper (Harmand et al. 2015) reports the discovery of the oldest known tools, but dating to between 3.11 and 3.33, they are at least a million years younger than Ardipithecus ramidus. mya. Previously, the oldest known stone tools were only from about 2.5 mya (Semaw et al.
