Why do scientists think Orrorin tugenensis is more closely related to Homo sapiens than Australopithecus?
Scientists believe Orrorin tugenensis is more closely related to Homo sapiens than Australopithecus because of its combination of primitive and advanced features, suggesting it was an early ancestor of the Homo lineage. Orrorin's dental and limb bone characteristics indicate it may have walked upright on two legs like humans, while its mix of ape-like and human-like traits place it closer to the human lineage.
What is 'Orrorin tugenensis' when translated from Tugen and Latin to English?
"Original man" and "of or relating to Tugen Hills" are literal English equivalents of the respectively Tugen and Latin words Orrorin tugenensis. The phrase references a possible predecessor -- about 6,100,000 - 5,700,000 years ago in Kenya's Tugen Hills -- to the bonobos, chimpanzee, gorilla, and human family Hominiae.
