Ⓒ Macmillan Learning An extensive study of a hominid fossil dating from approximately 2 million years ago was published in 2013. Determine whether each of the features described is closer to the ancestral state or to the modern human state. The shoulder structure and very long arms suggest the ability to climb and perhaps hang or swing. closer to the modern human state closer to the ancestral state The spine and other skeletal features suggest an upright stance. There is no opposable toe. The skull is very small.

n. Scientists have found one new fossil that is similar to Archaeopteryx. It is only the second fossil of its kind. It shows an animal that had a long-feathered tail and small teeth, like non-avian dinosaurs. But the animal also had flight feathers and wings, like modern birds. The fossil also shows a fused clavicle bone, which confirms the relationship between birds and dinosaurs because they are the only two groups with this characteristic. What is true about this scenario? It shows evidence of evolution. It shows evidence of widespread expression. It shows evidence of climate change. It shows evidence of causation.
