...Kevin Calhoun (John Cusack). Kevin is a Louisiana boy who wants to hold onto his ideals even as he grabs for the brass ring. That won't be easy. A black child has been gunned down by a Mafioso, and the political fallout may contaminate a Brooklyn boss (Danny Aiello), a stately judge (Martin Landau), possibly even the mayor...

The arm bones, too, appear to bolster this idea. According to Leslie Aiello, an anthropologist at University College London, they have exactly the robust, curving form you would expect from a tree climber. The two sexes didn't have different kinds of skills, she says, but were both "a mosaic, bipedal from the waist down and arboreal from the waist...
