Where Do Our Opposable Thumbs Come From? — HHMI BioInteractive Video

Описание к видео Where Do Our Opposable Thumbs Come From? — HHMI BioInteractive Video

Our opposable thumbs evolved from the hand structure of ancient primates. This instructional classroom video explores the human evolution timeline through our hands.

The fossil of Notharctus, a tree-dwelling animal, sheds light on the evolution of early primates and human anatomy. One of the earliest examples in the fossil record of a creature with bones similar to human hand bones, Notharctus opens a window onto the evolution of opposable thumbs.
