Chimpanzee Hand in Knuckle-walking Pose on Brass Stand
This hand from our quadrupedal chimpanzee skeleton SC-003 is articulated to demonstrate a chimp's knuckle-walking stance. Chimps are terrestrial and arboreal primates and use both quadrupedal and bipedal stance, or posture, when they move on land. In addition to locomotion, chimps use their hands to grasp and manipulate objects, to gesture, communicate, groom each other, and to make tools. Both gorillas and chimpanzees employ knuckle-walking.
The hand is a complex structure that is a representation of an animal's evolutionary history, from the simple tetrapod (a four-limbed, five-fingered animal) to a more complex organism. The study of comparative primate hands can yield insight into many areas of investigation through many disciplines: from K-12 to upper level work in the fields of evolution, biology, locomotion, and physical anthropology.
Stand included.
4 ¼" L x 4" W x 6 ¼" H / 11 cm x 10 cm x 16 cm
If you have a preference of right or left side, please let us know, otherwise, we will choose.
