Australopithicus afarensis is known as the earliest known true hominid on the path to Homo Sapians (us). Only found on the continent of Africa 2.9 - 3.6 MYA.
In keeping true to the theme of Dia de los Muertos, I felt it was fitting to honor this long gone ancestor of ours. For without its struggle for survival would we be here today?
They had ape sized brains, large jaws and teeth. Due to the changing landscape of Africa, Australopithicus was forced down from the trees in search of food. They lived in social groups for protection. Scavenging meat may have sparked brain growth and set us on the long path to humanity.
Only a portion of the skull is pictured on my cartridge. It is after the fossil discovered by J.T. Robinson, in Sterkfontein, South Africa in 1949. The same goes for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo is supremely important in the evolution of video games. Would video games be where they are today with out this revolutionary system?

Well information about Homo sapiens, Like other early humans that were living at this time, they gathered and hunted food, and evolved behaviors that helped them respond to the challenges of survival in unstable environments.
