<P> Then , in 1997 , an almost complete Australopithecus skeleton with skull was found in the Sterkfontein caves of Gauteng , South Africa . It is now called `` Little Foot '' and it is probably around three million years old . It was named Australopithecus prometheus which has since been placed within A. africanus . Other fossil remains found in the same cave in 2008 were named Australopithecus sediba , which lived 1.9 million years ago . A. africanus probably evolved into A. sediba , which some scientists think may have evolved into H. erectus , though this is heavily disputed . </P>
