Australopithecus had a smaller brain size compared to modern humans, walked upright on two legs (bipedal), had long arms with curved fingers for climbing, and a strong, robust body well-adapted to its environment. These early hominins also had a combination of ape-like and human-like features, such as a projecting face, small canines, and a pelvis suited for bipedal locomotion.
