The Australopithecus afarensis didn't have many tools. They only knew how to use very basic tools such as sticks, bones, and rocks.

They had a very basic diet, normally foods from trees, grasses, and sedges, but every once in awhile, they would find a dead animal and eat it. It is very important that they were able to consume these foods to stay healthy and survive.

The early hominid wasn’t as advanced as us, but did have capabilities that helped them survive. Australopithecus afarensis walked on its legs, which also means that they had their hands free to defend themselves and children. Being able to carry food was also very important because the Australopithecus afarensis didn’t have and tools to go and hunt animals, so being able to carry fruit and food was a must.

The Australopithecus afarensis lived around 3.9 to 2.9 million years ago and mainly were in Eastern Africa(Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania). They didn’t settle in one place, they were constantly on the move, finding food and protection from dangerous animals. But, according to Livescience, they didn’t just get around by walking, they also would swing around on trees(a common trait shared by monkeys and apes).

The word Australopithecus afarensis means "Southern ape from Afar"(Afar referring to the afar triangle). The Australopithecus afarensis was bipedal; it walked on two feet and had both hands free and stood around 3 feet tall. It also had a mix of human and ape like features. And although it was an early human, it looked and was mentally quite different, not fully having the same posture and jaw placement(its jaw stuck out) and its brain was one third the size of modern humans(Homo sapiens sapiens).
