Ardipithecus ramidus, recovered in ecologically and temporally resolved contexts in Ethiopia&#8217;s Afar Rift, now illuminates earlier hominid paleobiology and aspects of extant African ape evolution. More than 110 specimens recovered from 4.4-million-year-old sediments include a partial skeleton with much of the skull, hands, feet, limbs, and pelvis.<br \/>\nThis hominid combined arboreal palmigrade clambering and careful climbing with a form of terrestrial bipedality more primitive than that of Australopithecus. Ar. ramidus had a reduced canine\/ premolar complex and a little-derived cranial morphology and consumed a predominantly C3 plant-based diet (plants using the C3 photosynthetic pathway). Its ecological habitat appears to have been largely woodland-focused. Ar. ramidus lacks any characters typical of suspension, vertical climbing, or knuckle-walking. Ar. ramidus indicates that despite the genetic similarities of living humans and chimpanzees, the ancestor we last shared probably differed substantially from any extant African ape. Hominids and extant African apes have each become highly specialized through very different evolutionary pathways. This evidence also illuminates the origins of orthogrady, bipedality, ecology, diet, and social behavior in earliest Hominidae and helps to define the basal hominid adaptation, thereby accentuating the derived nature of Australopithecus.&#8221;<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ARDI_2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blogs.unicamp.br\/cienciaaonatural\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/230\/2011\/08\/ARDI_2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"246\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center;margin: 0 auto 20px\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ARDI_3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blogs.unicamp.br\/cienciaaonatural\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/230\/2011\/08\/ARDI_3.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center;margin: 0 auto 20px\" \/><\/span><br \/>\nRefer\u00eancias:<br \/>\nTim D.
