The Australopithecines fossils are some of the oldest known of the hominids, which comprise the ancestral family of modern humans and human-like species. Each of the five (or six) species walked upright on two legs; the five species are grouped into two divisions. Australopithecus anamensis, A. afarensis and A. africanus comprise the gracile group, the slender ones from which humans have long been believed to have evolved. Two other species, A. boisei, and A. robustus had much larger jaws and teeth than the species of the gracile group and are referred to the robust group of Australopithecus species that some researchers favor as being the group from which humans evolved.
