Ⓒ 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.
