阿法南方古猿（Australopithecusafarensis），又名阿法南猿或南方古猿阿法种，是生存于390-290万年前已灭绝的人科。它与较年轻的非洲南方古猿一样都是较修长的。研究发现阿法南方古猿是南方古猿属及人属的祖先。

严格说来，我们穿越时光之旅的下一站将停留在已有340万年的马卡（Maka）遗址，此地曾出土了南方古猿阿法种（Australopithecus afarensis）的一块颌骨以及其他一些遗骸。
Strictly speaking, our next stop on the walk through time should have been a 3.4-million-year-old site called Maka, which had yielded a jaw and some other remains of Australopithecus afarensis.
时间轴的另一端是人属，考虑到著名的南方古猿阿法种露西(Lucy Australopithecus afarensis)，人属可以认为是最接近于人类的第一种生物。
