RE: Biggest misconceptions of human evolution
on the nose @justtryme90! recent findings might show that our ancestor could have looked more like a bonobo than a chimp, even!
tl;dr (though I'm no anatomist): neck/shoulder muscles in bonobos look different those from chimpanzees and have some things in common with humans, which hints that chimpanzees have evolved off in a different direction while bonobos look more like our last common ancestor
*edit = fixing link
I did not know about this research pointing to the bonobo. Thanks for the info!
