Here is our probable hominin Ardipithecus ramidus cranium from Ethiopia The cranium itself it not particularly large maybe about 6 7 inches front to back Ardipithecus ramidus 2501 1rp96 1 cranium by RLA Archaeology on Sketchfab The foramen magnum is only partially present on this specimen areas in grey are reconstruction whereas textured brown represents actual fossil The cranium of Ardi doesn t really illustrate all the mosaic evolution in the post crania bones from the neck down The canines are thought to be less sexually dimorphic than that of chimpanzees which is one of the reasons some researchers think it may be on our lineage
