the Australopithecus tribe

I saw this a while age, but one thing that struck me was that the Australopithecus tribe really just looked like humans (albeit dirty and hunched over), that female that hung out with the explorers was quite pretty. This movie was made after planet of the apes and 2001. They defiantly could have come up with some better, more ape like make up effects or costumes. Why didn’t they?

Nothing says they were Cro-Magnon or Neanderthals. Maybe they were actually descendants of some other humans from ancient time that made their way there.
