Scientists compare limb proportions in two fossils and a modern human.
Table
| Skeleton | Arm length / cm | Leg length / cm |
|---|---|---|
| P | 60 | 72 |
| Q | 45 | 63 |
| modern human | 60 | 90 |
Which comparison of leg length to arm length is correct?
P has the ratio closer to the modern human, despite having a ratio greater than 1.5
Q has the ratio closer to the modern human, because its ratio is greater than 1.5
Q has the ratio closer to the modern human, despite having shorter legs than P
P has the ratio closer to the modern human, because it has longer legs than Q
