Photographic Print : Human and ape anatomy
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Human and ape anatomy
Human and ape anatomy. Artwork comparing the anatomy of a human (left) and an ape (right). Both are primates, but as humans and apes diverged from a common ancestor they adapted to their environment in different ways. Humans walk upright on two legs and are endurance runners, while apes crouch, walk on all fours, and climb trees. Differences include: musculature (red) adapted to running rather than climbing; differently shaped ribcages; different arrangement of the vertebrae; humans having both more space between the hips and ribs, and longer legs and leg tendons; and human feet adapted for running, compared to an apes prehensile toes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the remarkable differences between human and ape anatomy. The artwork beautifully illustrates how these two primates, once sharing a common ancestor, have adapted to their respective environments in distinct ways. On the left side of the image, we see the intricate musculature of a human body, specifically designed for endurance running rather than climbing. Humans have evolved to walk upright on two legs, granting them an unparalleled advantage in long-distance travel. Their longer legs and leg tendons provide greater stride length while their feet are uniquely adapted for efficient running. In contrast, on the right side of the print, we observe an ape's anatomy perfectly suited for its arboreal lifestyle. Apes crouch and walk on all fours as they navigate trees with ease. Their musculature is optimized for climbing rather than running. Other notable distinctions include differently shaped ribcages and vertebrae arrangements between humans and apes. Humans possess more space between their hips and ribs along with a unique bone structure that allows them to maintain an upright posture effortlessly. This thought-provoking artwork not only highlights our physical dissimilarities but also serves as a testament to evolution's incredible power in shaping species according to their environmental demands. It reminds us of our shared origins while celebrating the diverse paths taken by humans and apes throughout history.
