Name: In addition to revealing clues about evolution, physical traits can also give clues to the behavior of organisms, like whether they were quadrupeds or bipeds. The chart below lists the scientific and common terms used to describe skulls. Fill in the final column by describing the significance of each skull feature in distinguishing whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal.
