Congratulations @codyprang.bsky.social et al. on national fossil day- new paper on the ankle of Ardipithecus ramidus. Results strongly imply that humans evolved from an African ape-like ancestor!!

Ardipithecus ramidus ankle provides evidence for African ape-like vertical climbing in the earliest hominins - Communications Biology
Morphometric analyses of ankle bones provide evidence that humans evolved from an ancestor with vertical climbing adaptations like those of chimpanzees and gorillas.
