West African monkeys challenge key assumptions about human evolution
Wild monkeys in West Africa have been observed climbing vertical tree trunks using foot flexibility previously unknown to scientists. The discovery challenges a core assumption about the locomotion and anatomy of the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. It suggests that fossil foot evidence may have been misinterpreted by researchers studying human evolution.
