It is definitely Australopithecine. I messaged Graham about that when I noticed it, to see if any of them had some knowledge of human evolution & anthropology. He replied and told me that it is in fact Australopithecine, and that Dave took a few anthropology classes at UT.
Anyway, my take on the meaning stems from my own anthropological background. I believe Dave wrote this with Lucy in mind, the oldest known ancestor to modern humans that has thus far been found. This explains the female part, as well as being famous. However, as with the majority of Tokyo Police Club lyrics, I find that it is easier to simply enjoy and appreciate the songs rather than attempt to decipher every single meaning.
