Hominids

This week we learned about hominids.  A hominid is one of the humans closest ancestors.  The hominid walked upright.  There were many skulls found that date back to 4 million years old. The homo erectus has a big brain.  The body is also big.  The hominids are unlike monkeys because their big toe is close to there other toes just like humans.  Monkeys have a toe that is arched out from the others.  This is to help them climb trees.  Hominids are related to human, orangoutangs, gorillas, and monkey's.
