This, along with the mix of Homo and Australopithecine traits, led Berger to the theorize that this species was a descendant of A. africanus because of its location, and ancestor to Homo ergaster because of the Homo traits. Berger 's theory would thereby toss A. afarensis and H. habilis into the junk drawer where hominid dead ends are kept.
