The Ardipithecus ramidus specimen, nicknamed Ardi, was a great find because it contained a large portion of the skeleton. From this skeleton we learned that. O Ardi had an opposable big toe, like an ape O All of these answers are true O Ardi's nuchal region of the skull was oriented downward like a biped O Ardi had an angled femur, like a biped
