Description
This is a photo I took at the National History Museum in London of a fossilised skeleton of Australopithecus Sediba.

This australopithecine lived around two million years ago. It was initially suggested that this species was possibly a direct ancestor of the Homo line that we humans belong to, but this is now disputed, suggesting that it was a species that was on a separate evolutionary branch, sharing a common ancestor with the Homo lineage.

Sediba could walk upright, but its gait wasn't like ours. They were still adept at climbing trees, even though they could walk upright, which might explain why their gait is so unlike ours and other Hominin. They were herbivorous. Apparently, one of their diets involved eating tree bark.
