- Abstract:
The article presents a discussion concerning the comparative anatomies of modern humans and their evolutionary ancestors Ardipithecus ramidus, focusing on their skeletal structures and the ability to sustain bipedal motion. Details are given explaining several elements of A. ramidus' skeleton, including the foot and pelvis, which showcase the changes that occurred in human evolution to support upright posture.
