Examples (External sources, not reviewed)
| In primates, the combination of opposing thumbs, short fingernails (rather than claws) and long, inward closing fingers is a relict of the ancestral practice of gripping branches, and has, in part, allowed some species to develop brachiation (swinging by the arms from tree limb to tree limb) as a significant means of locomotion. | Nos primatas, a combinação de polegares opositores, unhas curtas (em vez de possuírem garras), e longos e preênseis dedos é herança da prática ancestral de se agarrar em galhos, e permitiu, em parte, que alguns animais desenvolvesse a capacidade de braquiação (se locomover de galho em galho utilizando unicamente os braços). |
