“If they lived in trees, why did they need to walk upright?”
Climate change.
No, really.
One theory says that as the African climate dried out, groves of trees grew farther and farther apart, so the hominids that could walk best from one to another tree had a better chance to survive.

Don't think I can post due to copyright issues, but there actually was a DC Comic about a platoon of Nazi apes, the Primate Platoon!

“a previously unknown ape that lived in whats now Germany “
Any other apes live in Germany, or, is this strictly comparison of the unknown with contemporaneous known apes from Africa?

I remember seeing something on one of the History Channel’s pseudo-science shows where the reported that Stalin had sponsored an effort to genetically create ape (gorilla I think !)-human hybrids to be super soldiers.
Did anyone watch the premiere of the last season of Vikings? ....Kievan Rus (800-99 AD roughly) doing hot air ballooning before the Montgolfier brothers! .. Really ?

Evolution is a hypothesis; to call it a theory is not scientific.You are quibbling in demonstration of your lack of understanding of science. All scientific theories are hypotheses awaiting falsification. Even the solidest of scientific theories can turn out to be false or incomplete, the general result of which they are either modified or discarded for a more general theory that covers the new evidence.

You didn’t have to outrun the lion, just the other apes who were also trying to escape.

Is it even possible? Yes, it is.

In past times, I visited a CEO who had an etching and pretty much that statement framed on his wall.

Ever seen the documentary Ancient Aliens Debunked? Although, AA is still good for laughs.

Kievan Rus (800-99 AD roughly) doing hot air ballooning before the Montgolfier brothers! I did not see that. Any historic truth to it?
To: colorado tanker
I find no evidence for it.
If true don’t you think the Russians would have bragged about it?

Is this about the time giraffes stretch their necks so they could reach the tree leafs?
