Australopithecus africanus is an extinct species of australopithecine, the first species to be described. Broom's discovery was the second australopithecine after "Australopithecus africanus". Fossils of the australopithecine foot show only partial arch, suggesting less of a spring capacity. These features contrast with those of the average robust australopithecine. Evidence for australopithecine meat consumption was presented in the 1990s. They were possibly polygamous and patrilocal, but there are no modern analogues for australopithecine societies. But, Wolpoff (1999) notes that in China "persistent claims of australopithecine or australopithecine-like remains continue". He is best known for his work on "Australopithecine" locomotion and the origins of bipedalism. "A. bahrelghazali" is the only australopithecine species found in Central Africa.
