The Ardipithecus ramidus specimen, nicknamed Ardi, was a great find because it contained a large portion of the skeleton. From this skeleton we learned that. O Ardi had an opposable big toe, like an ape O All of these answers are true O Ardi's nuchal region of the skull was oriented downward like a biped O Ardi had an angled femur, like a biped

Whereas some of the skeletal transitions to bipedality appear to be isolated adaptations, others clearly occurred in tandem. A good example is the reorganization of the pelvic girdle as it correlates to a change in the vertebral column. For this question, explain one way in which a change in the former facilitated a change in the latter. How did this change in the shape of the vertebral column aid in bipedal locomotion/posture? (100-150 wds.)
