What would the common ancestor of the chimpanzee and Australopithecus have looked like?
Changing the subject when proven wrong. Science does not have the missing link even of that. However, since evolution is a model which can predict how everything evolved, suppose you tell us. Let your imagination go wild since science does not have an answer for that. However, asking questions you know the answer to and which you know very well the proof is easily found is quite a bore. Here enjoy being proven wrong again:
The emergence of hominids came from a common ancestor of extant apes and humans from approximately 6-7 mya. FROM: Archeology Info
These cranial and post-cranial fragments show direct evidence for bipedalism at 6 million years ago! This is somewhere very close to the molecularly-derived date for human-chimp divergence.
FROM: Science in Africa
Humans are primates . Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes . Humans and the so-called great apes (large apes) of Africa—chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called pygmy chimpanzees) and gorillas —share a common ancestor that lived between 8 million and 5 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 5 million and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
