Also note that Snowtrack's examples are all concurrent animals?
They should have been looking for examples of comparative anatomy through the fossil records at least.
Cheers.
Adding more examples of extant mammals would actually have been instructive - as relative forward placement in developed bipedal mammals is broadly similar even across clades. That's why anthropologists think it indicates an upright walking habit in fossil remains.
Anywho, I suppose it gives snowtracks a suggestion as to where he might want to look to answers his questions about this. Somewhere around 4.4 and 2mya - give or take. Anyone researching this looks back even farther - as there's just no point where we expect to see major differences in fm placement in any of the nearest relatives of anatomically modern humans. We've only been here a half a mil, or less.
