Australopithecus is a latin name.Australopithecus literally means "southern ape". "Austral" southern or South from Latin and "pithecus" from "pithēkos" meaning "ape" in greek. The name now applies to many different species besides africanus including Australopithecus anamensis, Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus garhi, Australopithecus boisei, Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus sediba.
The Australopithecus afarensis was a bipedal hominid and its brain case was only 500 cubic centimeters (about 1/3 the size of modern human brain cases). The Australopithecus afarensis lived 3.85 to 2.95 million years ago in eastern Africa.
Australopithecus afarensis means "southern ape of the Afar region." Only the prefix australo- ("southern", from the Latin name Auster for the South Wind) and the suffix -ensis ("belonging to a place") are of Latin origin. Pithecus is from Greek, and afar is from the name of the Afar people of Ethiopia, on whose territory the first specimens of A. afarensis were found.
According to scientists, an Australopithecus Afarensis is a Latin term to describe early human species in Eastern Africa between 3.85 and 2.95 million years ago. This species had an apelike appearance which included a flat nose, projected lower jaw and etc., however, they were still able to walk upright like humans. The species were known to live in trees and on the ground.

Australopithecus afarensis is one of the earliest known bipedal species, but it is not definitively the first one. Other species before Australopithecus afarensis also showed some bipedal characteristics. However, Australopithecus afarensis is a well-known example of an early hominin that exhibited consistent bipedalism.

Archaeologists have no way of determining whether the Australopithecus afarensis had leaders or not. The only thing they can say for certain is that it was a partially quadrupedal species that had hominid features.
