Question

A feature in the early hominid was her apelike shoulders and forelimbs, but a pelvis that indicated that most of her body weight lay above her pelvis.

Which best explains the fossil?

Answer 1

B. Scientists called her Lucy and her pelvis indicates she could walk upright.

Step-by-step explanation:

The description provided aligns with the characteristics of the famous hominid fossil known as Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis). Lucy's pelvis indicated that she walked upright, and her apelike shoulders and forelimbs were adaptations that might have been retained from a more apelike ancestor. The term "Upright Human" is not commonly used, and the other options do not accurately describe the fossil and its characteristics.

Answer 2

This fossil which has apelike shoulders and forelimbs feature is most likely a quadrudepal (walks on both hands and feet). Scientists might call this early hominid the Wish human. It's apelike structure could also indicated that she is a common ancestor to the chimpanzees.
