The representatives of the genus *Australopithecus* were more gracefully slight in build; they might have been about 1.2 metres tall, and weighed about 40 kilogrammes. The dentition of Australopithecines comes closest to that of man, with *Dryopithecus* pattern in the relative dimensions of the molars, and especially the small incisors and canines, which do not project above the occlusal line. Dentition suggests that they were omnivorous.
