My Response "I've been to oldupai gorge, if their habitat was similar to how it is now, there was vast grass lands that wouuld of been there, but also rolling hills and mountains as well. There also was a massive volcano present during their time and the other hominids that came after. " 
 
*My thoughts were, and are, if Australopithicus did not live in a heavily wooded environment, where he could scamper swiftly up a tree when threatened by large predators, then he had to have had some other strategy of survival. He could nor outrun the hyenas, wild dogs, and big cats. He certainly could not out fight them. He could jump up and down and scream, but that would not stop them. He could play dead, but they would eat him anyway. He could not swiftly burrow into the ground. The only thing I can think of is perhaps he had such a nasty body odor that caused him not to be first choice on any predator's menu.  Reply
