laminda, When the ancestor of all terrestrial vertebrates crawled from the sea onto land, she had a tail. Our primate ancestors had tails. In fact, many primates still do. So where did our tails go?
In my latest for @CNN I spoke with the scientists who recently identified the genetic crossroads where hominoids—humans and great apes—took one route, and our tails took another.
