The ardipithecus is a fossil hominine and shares some characteristics and features as chimps and gorillas. They also dwell in the forest.
The ardpithecus ramidus was first reported in 1994, in 2009 scientist announced a partial skeleton which was nicknamed 'Ardi'.
It is said that they adapted in climbing trees and bipedal activity. Evidence of this was found on the pelvis which was reconstructed from a crushed specimen.
Ardi's fossils were found near faunal remains indicating that she lived in a wooded environment. This suggests that humans learned to walk upright as environments became more open and grassy and the climate became drier.
Arpipithecus kadabba walked upright (was bipedal), and most likely had similar body and brain size to a modern chimpanzee. One bone from the large toe has a broad appearance, suggesting the use of it in bipedal push off.
