**Human Bipedalism and Skeletal Structure**

Human bipedalism is associated with skeletal structure adaptations that are distinct from the skeletal structures of other primates. Classify each of the anatomical characteristics as belonging to either humans or chimpanzees.

**Chimpanzees:**
- Forward-shifted foramen magnum
- Curved spine
- Wide foot
- Narrow pelvis

**Humans:**
- Central-positioned foramen magnum
- S-shaped spine
- Narrow foot
- Broad pelvis

**Answer Bank:**
- Forward-shifted foramen magnum
- Narrow foot
- Central-positioned foramen magnum
- S-shaped spine
- Narrow pelvis
- Curved spine
- Wide foot
- Broad pelvis

In this classification exercise, you'll match each anatomical characteristic to either humans or chimpanzees based on their adaptations for bipedalism.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Bipedalism is the fundamental ability to walk upright on two legs which signifies the evolution of humans.

Humans and chimpanzees are differentiated on the basis of different anatomical characteristics.
