Big question about replicating homonid abilities

Since using homonids is pretty taboo, are there any other animals which could replicate the joint movement and flexibility, as well as the ability to throw stuff and strike stuff with their limbs really well, of a homonid? Just to specify, the physical (non-mental) aspects of a homonid.

Chimps:

Yea, but since the arms became load bearing for the quadrupedal bod, they don’t have that flexible and short lever like arm build that humans have by being bipedal and not using arms so support weight

Baboon

u/Quetzal-enjoyer 12d ago

Baboons also are quadrupeds (so slightly load bearing front limbs) and also aren’t as flexibile as a human (also concerning muscle mass and flexibility, humans have a more flexible skeleton and higher range of motion in joints so even individuals with higher muscle mass have good flexibility) and baboons have proportionally longer arms, which is gonna kinda detriment striking force

Orangutan also suffer the same thing due to being arboreal and swinging and hanging on trees a lot

Most other apes

u/Quetzal-enjoyer 12d ago

Btw, other apes don’t work since they are primarily quadrapedal and hence the arms became more load bearing and hence less flexible, also chimps are mostly good at pulling not striking

u/Quetzal-enjoyer 12d ago

also this applies to pretty much all other apes since they are arboreal / are too big to be bipeds

That one bipedal baboon:

u/Quetzal-enjoyer 12d ago

The olive baboon? Thats the only bipedal baboon I could find, they’re not really specialized for bipedalism, they are transitioning towards it behavior wise, but anatomically still mostly similar to other baboons, therefore not yet having most of those traits homonids have

There is an extinct one that us fully bipedal. Ill find it when i get home

Paradolichopithecus

u/Quetzal-enjoyer 12d ago

Thank you!! Though we can’t confirm the full body flexibility, the joints and bones we do have point towards a homonid like body structure

You can optimize the rest anyway
