It’s hard to eliminate Australopithecus as a possibility without a more complete skeleton, but the shape of the newly-found jaw and teeth showed some similarity to the teeth of early Homo erectus -- more so than Homo habilis.

没有更完整的骨骼， 很难排除南方古猿阿法种的可能性，但新发的下颌和牙齿形状与早期直立人的牙齿有一些相似之处， 能人的更为相似。

The light we see from it now left that galaxy when Australopithecus walked the Earth.
