Which trait most common in humans?

The hominid fossil has the same number of bones in its hand as a gorilla. what type of evidence for evolution does this represent?

What type of study is most appropriate for determining the time at which a common ancestor to humans and chimpanzees lived?
comparing DNA sequences between humans and chimpanzees Also,The more similar the DNA of two species, the more recently they diverged from a common ancestor
Why are monkeys your relatives?

Which type of character is found within an entire line of descent of a group of organisms?
A monophyletic group includes a common ancestor and all of its descendants, representing a single evolutionary lineage. It is characterized by shared derived traits, called synapomorphies, and is considered a natural (or clade) group in evolutionary classification.
What is shared derivative characteristic?
Example. All humans share bipedalism, type of teeth,brain size, speech and all other human characteristics we share with our immediate common ancestor, such as the Cro-Magnon man. In contrast, ancestral characteristics are thing we share with all ancestors, such as a vertebral column.
