Those skulls had the most similar traits to humans and were bipedal (walked on two feet). The rest of the skulls were quadrupedal. I predict that because of the ardipithecus and australopithecus environment and the way they lived is what made them look a lot like humans. Even though all of them are now extinct we were able to conclude how they looked and the way they lived because of their skulls. Conclusion:

Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation‚ including species‚ individual organisms and molecules such as DNAand proteins.[1]All life on earth is descended from a last universal ancestor that lived approximately 3.8 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological

Sahelanthropus tchadensis has a skull with an elongated shape with a relatively short‚ vertical face‚ which is set high relative to the skull vault.
