The word "Australopithecus" means "southern monkey" (from the ancient Greek "australis" - southern and Latin. "Pitekus" - a monkey). The age of discovery was determined at 1 million years. In the skull of Australopithecus, a brain imprint was found. The brain was 520 cm3. The results of the study were published in the 1925 scientific journal Nature. But after the publication of these studies, the scientific world did not see anything human in this skull. Scientists rather thought it was a skull of chimpanzees or gorillas. Darth was only supported by his colleague and director of the Transval Museum in Pretoria - Robert Broum.
