Characterized by arms slightly longer than the legs, human-like cranial features combined with more primitive features including ape-like curved fingers for tree climbing. This species was the first of the australopiths to be described; Raymond Dart named the genus and species in 1925 after his discovery of the famous Taung child. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
