Solution
- Chin absent: Australopithecus did not have a prominent chin like modern humans. Their lower jaw sloped backwards, showing an early stage of human evolution.
- Prognathous face: The face is projected forward, indicating that the jaws are extended outwards. This is called prognathism, a primitive feature also seen in apes.
