Ardipithecus ramidus lacked the specialized teeth seen in living apes (such as exaggerated canines). Like later Homo species this accounts for their ability to target a broad set of resources. At the same time the species maintained an opposable toe as is seen in living great ape species. This suggests that Ardipithecus specimens could be considered a Trace fossil Index fossil Mosaic fossil Terminal fossil O O
