The capacity for bipedal locomotion has always been considered a defining characteristic of the human species‚ and it is one of the most important features that paleoanthropologists look for when trying to determine whether an ancient species was part of the human lineage. Recent paleoanthropological work has demonstrated that bipedalism might have occurred much earlier than previously thought‚ with the recovery of fossil evidence‚ dated up to 7 Ma‚ that suggests potential bipedal locomotion in various

Another indication that the colour orange was used as a religious symbol is when he made the comparisons between that of Orange Juice‚ the orangutan‚ and the Virgin Mary‚ and would also often bring up Jesus on the cross.

Habitat loss—due to destruction‚ fragmentation or degradation of habitat—is the primary threat to the survival of wildlife in the United States.
