Why did our ancestors start walking upright? Ancient terrain may hold clue

You are mistaken.

Walking on two legs frees up the hands, allowing for the use of tools and, eventually, bigger brains.

When they say "tools", in journalistic terminology they mean "AK-47s". Evolution is a two step process: 1) something mutates, 2) something else must die. Now what made all those very intelligent human competitors die off? It wasn't climate change.

"Mine started walking upright in the Garden of Eden."

Correct. It must be a hopeless, empty thing to believe you're descended from apes, rather than specially made in the image of God, above the animals, as a being to keep Him company.

They use the words “suggest” and “could.” These are your typical disclaimers when what they’re trying to explain is so bogus and illogical that no one would believe it unless they use these words.

[varmintman]

Evolution is a dead theory walking. Evolosers are generally immune to logic but they are not immune to ridicule and, at some point, the facade is going to crumble.

A key piece of the puzzle always overlooked is how the spine attaches to the head in apes and man are very different. An upright ape would be looking at the sky.

I did not know that. Interesting. I always learn so much from FReepers.
