This Australopithecus boisei coloring pages resource features an Australopithecus Boisei, which is a species of human with ape-like features and a stark contrast to the shape of a human skull in its hand. They are similar to humans and lived over two million years ago. This species of humans survived for over 700,000 years and went extinct because of the lack of food resources that they required. They were characterized by having an intelligent brain, human like facial features, and their bones were made especially for chewing. Hence these species had to only eat really tough and chewable foods like nuts and roots. They were even known as the nutcracker man. These species lived in the woods, especially around wet places such as lakes, rivers. As seen in this free printable, there is a lot of similarities between the skull of a present day human and the features of Australopithecus boisei.
