“…it calls into question common assumptions of how humans ended up walking on two legs,…”

_____________

Atheists are always wrong about our origin, because of their refusal to admit the truth.

They listen in denial.

bipedalism

noun

The habit of standing and walking on two feet; the state of being bipedal

the bodily attribute of being bipedal; having two feet

So all animals with 2 feet use them to get around. Almost like God and Nature intended. I am losing more and more respect for the word "Science" as more and more of these scientific papers get published.

Does quadrapedalism originate from bi-bipedalism?

My mom had a cookie cutter of a man with two legs, so that’s why.

If evolution, to the point of speciation, was real, it would be more likely that humans found it advantageous to use their their hands to carry things or throw things than to forage in tree tops.

From a couple of years ago, for anyone interested...

Locomotion, posture, and the foramen magnum in primates: Reliability of indices and insights into hominin bipedalism

The positioning of that particular hole in our heads just doesn't get enough respect.

Researchers like to fabricate elaborate stories to keep the funding coming in, research suggests.

Sounds like settled science to me. After 7 million years surely we got it right?

Try try try. Always trying to disprove the obvious and cloudy up reality. Sigh.

I don’t believe so. Anything that could maybe point to something they don’t understand and BAM! Evolution!

Binarypedalism is used to transport oneself, so wouldn’t that be...

trans-non-binarypedalism?

The ancestors of humans may have begun moving on two legs to forage for food among the treetops in open habitat
= = =

Well, my ancestors developed feathers and wings to do that.

We age bugs before Soros said to.
