I think they still live - in the White House.

Lucy was a young, erect walking hominid that lived about 3.5 million years ago.
Gracile australopithecines shared several traits with modern apes and humans and were widespread throughout Eastern and Southern Africa as early as 4 to as late as 1.2 million years ago.
Australopithecus (the "southern ape"), a hominid that lived in East and South Africa between 4.4 and 1.4 million years ago
hope you come up with a good answer, obviously whatever answer you get will be arrived at by the same means as those who claim to know arrived at it, that is GUESSING

Closer to 2 million. I don't know of any astralopithecenes that lived past that.
However, we haven't found all of the fossils there are to find yet. We may get a surprise or two in the next few years.
But these surprises will only re-enforce the Evolutionary theory, not break it down.
That's how knowledge and science works.

Is that one of those Afghans the Islamics are talking about that went to New Zealand and Australia long before the rest of us with their Qurans.
Ah, Iooked it up. It's a breed of ape that is now existing because Natural Selection did it in.
Good riddence. Out with the bad.
Probably 6,000 years ago in God years and who knows in Human years.
If it was such a great species why didn't the Cosmic Casino let it live.
Must have been something faulty with it.
Isn't THAT how evolution works!
Mother Nature doesn't seem to be overly fond of the Panda either.

Well, we know from the latest discovery of the Dikika baby that they lived 3.3 million years ago. I suppose I'll go with 3.

I've always thought closer to 4 million.

I checked out the word "Australopithecus " and it doesn't seem to be found. Is it spelled correctly or did you make it up?

The wikipedia article says it died out 1.2 million years ago. Hope the info helps you find whatever it is you're looking for, Sean.
