"Upright men?" reader question

Hey Dr. J,

I was wondering... The Bible says that some men, like Job, in the early eras of the Bible were "upright." Scientists have found "monkey-men" and I assume they were a product of sin. Those men were deformed because of sin. Could the word "upright" be used in an actual description of those men like Job? Noah also respected God and we are a product of his family. We don't look like the "monkey-men" so could the term "upright" be literal?

No Cody, the word in context clearly does not refer to the posture. King Saul was taller than everyone but was not spiritually upright. This is referring to their spiritual character. People were never like monkeys. God bless you, DrJ
