Answer: C. There is no evidence that australopithecines ever left Africa.
Explanation: Australopithecines is a primate, more specifically, fossil remains have been found that are known to be primate, having both human and monkey characteristics. In a literal translation, the name australopithecines means southern monkey, and these fossil remains have been found in Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene deposits in Africa. They are estimated to be about 4 million years old, not less than one million years old. There is no evidence that this species ever left Africa, though it is not impossible, but there is no scientific evidence to support a sound scientific theory. Specifically, this species is thought to have died out just over a million or 1.2 million years ago. Although not reliable, some later species are thought to have originated from the australopithecines, and so exist their offspring, but as descendants of some later species derived from the australopithecines.
