said to be the ancestors of humans (O’Neil 2012). The apes and human are different from any other primate because they do not have tails. But the African apes and humans have essentially the same arrangement of internal organs, and share the same bones (O’Neil, 2012).

uneven, with more curve on the medial side of the phalanx. The metacarpal bone doesn’t seem to demonstrate enough concavity through the midshaft on either side to indicate major rotation. Slight rotation is also suspected due to the difference of soft tissue on either side of the bones. It seems like the medial aspect of the thumb has more soft tissue than the lateral.
