    ..g., chimpanzees), and species not considered tool-users in free-ranging conditions (e.g., spider monkeys). Additional selective pressures besides simply tool use appear responsible for the relative reduction in primate forelimb forces...

    ..These derived features appear in a species with a small adult brain size, suggesting that the birthing of larger-brained babies was not driving the evolution of the pelvis at this time...

    Bernhard Zipfel
    Institute for Human Evolution, University of the Witwatersrand, Post Office Wits, 2050 WITS, South Africa
    Science 333:1417-20. 2011
    ..Given the combination of features in the Au. sediba foot, as well as comparisons between Au. sediba and older hominins, homoplasy is implied in the acquisition of bipedal adaptations in the hominin foot...

    Science 328:195-204. 2010
    ..Combined craniodental and postcranial evidence demonstrates that this new species shares more derived features with early Homo than any other australopith species and thus might help reveal the ancestor of that genus...
