What about australopithecus africanus?
Australopithecus africanus was an early hominid, an australopithecine, who lived between 2-3 million years ago in thePliocene.[2] In common with the older Australopithecus afarensis,A. africanus was slenderly built, or gracile, and was thought to have been a direct ancestor ofmodern humans. Fossil remains indicate thatA. africanus was significantly more like modern humans than A. afarensis, with a more human-like cranium permitting a largerbrain and more humanoid facial features. A. africanus has been found at only four sites in southern Africa - Taung (1924), Sterkfontein (1935), Makapansgat(1948) and Gladysvale(1992).[1]
