Well , maybe not everything , but Modern research suggests that we ’re not as intimately related to apes as you may have thought . The game show ? The way we climb tree , apparently .
consort to Dr Jeremy DeSilva , from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor , our earliest ancestors may have like to mount trees , but they did n’t have the skeleton to do it like our chimpanzee brethren . His late study shew that chimpanzees ’ mortise joint are much more flexible than human ’ :
former hominins may have climbed tree like modern humans can and occasionally do today ; however , this subject area suggests that upright climbing and arboreality were not substantial piece of their locomotor repertoire … If early hominins were engaging in any substantial amount of arboreal climbing , then they were doing it in a manner … distinct from forward-looking chimp .
understand ? The early man were n’t quite as apelike as we may have previously thought . Which may be a sign that previous evolutionary theory were wrong … or just that our ankles have become less bendy over time .
