Line 20:
A fossil of this primate shows the [[talus bone]] having features much more alike [[Australopithecus|australopithecines]] than modern baboons or chimpanzees, such as [[shape]] and placement, although some features are similar to bipedally trained [[Japanese macaque|Japanese macaques]]. The distal [[tibia]] found also has a distinctly more massive and square [[malleolus]], differing from macaques or baboons and again showing a similarity to hominins. The morphology and [[width]] of the tibia shows that this primate had specific weight-bearing adaptations for terrestrial [[Locomotion in mammals|locomotion]]. The proximal humerus found in this site has a deep and wide attachment groove for the [[biceps]] along with a larger articulation area on the head, which relates to the increased mobility possible for the [[elbow]] joint found.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Y.
