Her wrist, hand and shoulder bones show that she wasn't a knuckle walker and didn't spend much time hanging or swinging ape-style in trees.

Remember the first season, when it was thrilling just to see Pam fall asleep with her head on Jim’s shoulder? What is there to look forward to now—Jim and Pam’s baby wryly acknowledging the camera in his sonogram? Sexual tension is the life and death of sitcoms. “Cheers” was all Sam and Diane, and when it wasn?...
