The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Originally described as one of the earliest ancestors of humans after they diverged from the last common ancestor shared with chimpanzees, the relation of this genus to human ancestors and whether it is a hominin is now a matter of debate.
- Two fossil species are described in the literature: A. ramidus, which lived about 4.4 million years ago during the early Pliocene, and A. kadabba, dated to approximately 5.6 million years ago.
- Initial behavioral analysis indicated that Ardipithecus could be very similar to chimpanzees, however, more recent analysis based on canine size and lack of canine sexual dimorphism indicates that Ardipithecus was characterised by reduced aggression, and that they more closely resemble bonobos.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ardipithecus article was read about 62,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
