"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel... By which also ye are saved... unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

Australopithecus is said to be 3-5 million years old. There are various species of these creatures that have been at times proclaimed to be the ancestors of humans. Australopithecus afarensis, popularly known as the fossil 'Lucy' is the most famous of these and measures 3 1/2 feet tall. However, detailed studies of the inner ear, skulls and bones have suggested that 'Lucy' and her like are not on the way to becoming human. For example, they may have walked more upright than most apes, but not in the human manner. Australopithecus afarensis is very similar to the pygmy chimpanzee (known as the bonobo in its homeland, Zaire).

Conclusion: Australopithecus again was clearly an ape that was similar to the pygmy chimpanzee, and in no wise bore any resemblance whatsoever to humans.
