Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Morotopithecus fossils from Uganda show evidence of adaptations for suspensory locomotion, including a flexible spine and long forelimbs, indicating that this early hominoid may have moved through trees using a form of brachiation similar to modern gibbons. Dryopithecus, Chororapithecus, and Proconsul are also fossil hominoids, but there is not conclusive evidence for suspensory locomotion in those species.
