The entire human body had to adapt to this huge change. Not only did the legs undergo drastic changes‚ but the entire body did as well. The evolution of bipedalism helped

Summary of the anatomical characteristics that reflect the human adaptation to bipedal locomotion Hominins are the only primates that are fully bipedal. As with other types of locomotion‚ bipedalism is reflected in numerous adaptations of skeletal structure‚ starting from the head and moving toward the toes. Two important adaptations are found in the cranium. The first is the position of the foramen magnum‚ the large hole at the base of the cranium that allows the brain to connect to the spinal
