Australopithecus Afaerensis. I do not think that this species of early humans had shelters.

∙ 11y agoAustralopithecus 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.
Australopithecus afarensis is an extinct species of early hominin that lived approximately 3.9 to 2.9 million years ago in East Africa. It is best known from the famous fossil specimen "Lucy." A. afarensis is considered an important ancestor in the human evolutionary lineage, displaying a combination of ape-like and human-like features.
the other name for the australopithecus is known as the southen ape.

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.
Yes, Australopithecus afarensis had opposable thumbs. This trait allowed them to grasp objects and manipulate tools with precision.
