Astralopithacus Oparensis - The Southern Ape From Ofar
Astralepithicus africanus was originally thought to be a species of ape from Africa. Now we have established two species of astralopithacus, which are both part of the astralopithecine sub tribe. The angle of the pelvis clearly resembles humans, as opposed to notably different gorillas and chimpanses. Spinal column entered at an angle nearer the base of the skull, showing that the head was carried at an angle - this would only make sense if living body was upright.
