Nicknamed "Black Skull," Australopithecus aethiopicus is also considered robust and probably the specie from which the other robust australopithecine species descended. A. aethiopicus had a much higher degree of prognathism than the other robust species but shared in common the midsagittal crest, large mandible and dentition. A. aethiopicus lived approximately 2.5Ma.
