most hominin fossils older than 3 million years of age are called
anthropoids

Explanation:

• Anthropoids are a group of primates that include monkeys, apes, and humans but not specifically referring to hominin fossils of that age.
• Australopiths are a group of hominins that lived from about 4.2 million to 1.2 million years ago. Most hominin fossils older than 3 million years are australopiths.
• Protohominids is not a commonly used or recognized term in modern paleoanthropology.
• Australoids is a term related to a racial classification (now discredited in biological anthropology) and not related to hominin fossils of that age.

Answer:

australopiths
