It is also 'funny' that that chart has 'Lucy' on it...the much heralded 'missing link of years ago.
It was claimed Lucy walked upright and had to be a link because the 'knee was slightly larger' than a normal apes knee (evolving) and its femur had the same angle to knee ratio as a human.
It is documented that knee size means nothing, many apes and humans have dif sized knees....most tree dwelling apes have the same femur to knee ratio as humans and Richard Leakey said that the skull was so incomplete that 'imagination' made up her skull (The Weekend Australian 1983) He also noted there was no firm conclusion what species she was.
Anatomists proved in 1987 she was just another ape of the australopithecines and she did not walk upright..
