非洲南方古猿
非洲南方古猿（Australopithecus africanus），又名非洲南猿或南方古猿非洲种，是属于早期人科的非洲南方人猿，生存于200-300万年前的上新世。较古老的阿法南方古猿与非洲南方古猿都较纤细，估计是现今人类的直接祖先。化石遗骸显示非洲南方古猿更像现今人类，相似的头颅骨可以容纳更大的脑部及有更像人的五官。非洲南方古猿已在4个地方发现，包括汤恩、斯泰克方丹、马卡潘斯盖及Gladysvale洞穴。

Australopithecus africanus is an extinct (fossil) species of the australopithecines, the first of an early ape-form species to be classified as hominin (in 1924). Recently it was dated as living between 3.3 and 2.1 million years ago, or in the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene times; it is debated as being a direct ancestor of modern humans. A. africanus was of slender, or gracile, build and has been found only in southern Africa at four sites: Taung (1924), Sterkfontein (1935), Makapansgat (1948) and Gladysvale (1992).
