Hi everyone, always a lurker here but I still read a lot. It seems I just can't go off this forum!
Anyway, in a couple thread I read I saw creationists ask or evolutionists argue on how we became bipedals. I liked, and still like, the idea of climate change for it but Dr Isabelle Winder and her team came up with a new idea. I'm sure some of you are already aware of it but for the others :
Hominins, our early forebears, would have been attracted to the terrain of rocky outcrops and gorges because it offered shelter and opportunities to trap prey. But it also required more upright scrambling and climbing gaits, prompting the emergence of bipedalism.
Info found here
Interesting isn't it?
