One of the most interesting pre-australopith is the Ardipithecus Ramidus (Ardi). It’s incredible that Ardi is one of the three fossil hominin discoveries that led into the understanding of early human evolution. It was even considered the “Breakthrough of the Year” by the Science Journal, which devoted much to its description and analysis. It was a great discovery as it was the nearest common ancestor of apes and humans.
There are multiple characteristics that certainly are potential for ancestral relationship to humans. For instance, its short, no projecting canines and wear on the tips of the canines suggests that the hominin was omnivorous, eating a wide variation of food. It had an opposable big toe, however, its foot did not have the
