In the apes,a sturdy clavicle orients the arms at the side rather than the front of the body.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. Apes have a sturdy clavicle that orients their arms at the side of the body, which allows them to brachiate (swing from tree branch to tree branch) more easily. In contrast, humans have a shorter, more mobile clavicle that allows us to move our arms in front of our body, facilitating activities such as throwing and reaching.
