    Therefore‚ these modifications suggested to C. O Lovejoy that Ar. ramidus had been bipedal for an extended timeframe (Ann Gibbons 39). Even so‚ the lower pelvis is enormous and sophisticated alike to African apes instead of hominins (Ann Gibbons 39). Ardi's opposable big toe and sophisticated characteristics within their hands and feet determined that Ardi didn't walk similar to Lucy and still spent an extended

    way that makes it easy to understand. Moreover‚ the foot‚ vertebra and pelvis fossils give a lot of information to understand more about bipedalism in early hominids. A small feature with big implications was found on the ardipithecus pelvis and it is clear evidence that ardipithecus walked up right. ARDI’s remains help understand evolution better because the fossils are the oldest ever found‚ and they show characteristics that are not found in other fossils. ARDI’s fossils also answer a lot of questions

    Walking is something the majority of people take for granted. Bipedalism is a highly complicated process that took millions of years to evolve. Bipedalism has provided humans with many advantages and it is what defines us. By understanding the origins of bipedalism helps us to understand many questions about human nature. It is important to gather information on our ancestors past in order to understand the gradual process of bipedalism. Millions of years ago in Africa different apes dominated

    The interlimb’ coordination is necessary for biped’s locomotion. The lower limbs (left and right legs) and the upper limbs (left and right arm) are interoperated to serve as several proposed. The locomotion speed and step length are the primary visual output of the lower limbs interaction. At same output speed‚ the different legs’ length will provide the different not only in step length but also in stride frequency. In addition‚ the total weight of the robot body also affects the lower limbs’ speed

    “On land‚ tropical forests underwent reduction or‚ more commonly‚ broke up into mosaics where patches of forest were interspersed with savanna or other types of open country. With the breaking up of forests‚ our early ancestors found themselves spending more and more time on the ground and had to adapt to this new open environment.” There are many different theories trying to explain why and how our ancestors came to be bipeds. This quote is stating the theory that our ancestors faced many obvious

    Did you know back 2 million years ago hominids had the same traits as us? We all are able to walk on two feet (biped)‚ using our hands (tool making)‚ and communication (language). These are the 3 traits that makes us human. To have bipedalism you have to have the ability to walk upright. According to the text‚ History Alive it states that “As scientists assembled the bones‚ they observed that these hominids (Homo Erectus) stood upright.” This is important because this shows that around two million

    ADAPTING TO THE CHANGING ENVIRONMENT: Bipedalism Bipedalism- the condition of being two-footed or of using two feet for standing and walking. The hominoid apes flourished at the very beginning of the Miocene epoch‚ when lush tropical rain forests were the predominant habitat. In the Opinion of many Anthropologists‚ bipedalism was adaptive for life amid the tall grasses of the savannas. Baboons and some other old World monkeys also live in savanna- type environments‚ yet although they can

    beginning of our development as a species. Dr. Donald Johanson and Dr. Tim White discovered two of the most amazing specimens that would be the stepping-stones to the beginning of evolutionary development. Australopithecus Afarensis (Lucy) and Ardipithecus Ramidus (Ardi) were the first fossils found in Africa that showed signs of early evolutionary development that is connected to Homo sapiens in the evolutionary tree. Lucy and Ardi are important to our evolutionary development because they were the

    (Decorse‚C.R &Scupin‚ R‚2008). After learning Lucy was more evolved than a chimpanzee they continued to search for a new species dated further when they discovered a finger bone and later a 90 fossil bone skeleton belonging to who they call “Ardipithecus Ramidus”. Ardi was the first species ever found that is displayed a skeletal structure showing the linking connection between both chimps and humans‚ dating nearly four point four millions years back. She was the key to evolution. Savanna Hypothesis
