b) What are some unique anatomic and behavioral traits that are unique to hominid species compared to primates, and to Homo sapiens in particular, compared to other hominid species?
Explain the change in the classification of hominids in recent years. What hominoids are we now considered to be most closely related to?

have been used to describe early hominin
diversity, and which have been used to
describe bipedalism?

do we see in early hominins? Are these
primarily obligate bipeds? Explain.
