Australopithecus anamensis, abbreviated as Au. anamensis, lived between about 4.2 million and 3.8 million years ago. The primates sported a mixture of traits both primitive and humanlike.

Those previous Australopithecus anamensis specimens, found in Kenya and Ethiopia, were between 4.2 million and 3.9 million years old. This new skull is slightly younger, ...

If so, A. anamensis — now placed at between 4.2 million and 3.8 years ago — and Lucy’s kind — dating to between 3.9 million and 3 million years ago — overlapped for at least 100,000 years.

The reconstructed face of MRD, a young male belonging to the Australopithecus anamensis. Its discovery has been called a "game changer" for our understanding of human evolution 3.8 million years ago.

A. anamensis lived in Eastern Africa between 3.8 million and 4.2 million years ago. Like Lucy, they would have walked upright, but with a gait that we would probably pick out as a little odd .
