Oh how this stuff changes quickly.
When I took anthropology in the 90’s, they were saying that early pre-humans split off from three dwellers and lived in the savanahs and stepps and needed to stand to see farther. Now they are saying standing started in trees, which evokes monkeys more than apes.
Also, back then (unless my memory fails me) Australopithecus was in another fork, and not an ancenstor to humans.
Publish or perish is why they keep coming out with such laughable garbage.
“She would have lived primarily on forest fruits and leaves.”
She was a cheap date.
“Waiter! Bring the lady a bowl of leaves.....French leaves if you have them.”
“However, it has given scientists a far greater understanding of how our species evolved.”
Romans 1:21-23 New International Version (NIV)
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles
“...found in a very deep cavern...”
I wasn’t aware that there were many trees in caverns....
I know I know I’m just being facetious
All I know is that, going by the last time I climbed a tree, the habit of walking at all in the trees was lost a long time ago.
We stayed in the trees, with their citrus goodies, too long. We lost from underuse the ability to make our own vitamin C.
Shoot, even my dog makes his own C, but not me.
Wouldn’t it have been somewhat easier to stand upright and learn to walk on sidewalks? Doing that in trees must have been a real challenge. Lucy had to be a Democrat.
You are sure these are not stills from the old movie THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON? That “scientist” sure looks like Lionel Jeffries.
When it survives the Scientific Method, get back to me. So far lots of fraud by atheists....
“... learned to walk upright in the trees...”
What, did they have dents in their foreheads from walking into low-hanging branches?
Yeah, right. And exactly why would our predecessors want to “walk” in a tree instead of on flat ground? Oh - that’s right - they must have been idiots compared to us.
"I walk in the trees, but they don't listen to mees..." (sorry, Clint)
But it’s not a human. Neat that they found another species of ape though.
