To me, human means the ability to comprehend I am. I doubt this poor creature was capable of that. I dunno. If you look at a bonobo's eyes it sure looks like somebody's home. This guy might have been pretty close to a bonobo.
Lets see the rest of the skeleton and then maybe it can be determined whether it walked upright or not.
Where the skull attaches to the spine is a pretty good indicator of bipedalism.

I'd never heard of a
bonobo until I saw an episode of
NOVA last week. A very interesting creature indeed. I would encourage anyone interested in this subject to check it out.
