Australopithecus afarensis
Skull of Lucy’s species
Skull of Lucy is not that of a human – with the sloping face typical of Apes (shovel face). Canines also come in at an angle unlike humans which come in more straight down. Cranial capacity is even smaller than a typical ape. Doesn’t have nasal bones that humans possess.

Teeth are relatively small for apes and have thick enamel – making them seem more human-like.
