In hominins, habitual bipedal posture brings the insertion tendon ... The geological and faunal context of late Miocene hominin remains from Lukeino, Kenya. Comptes Rendus Académie de la Terres ...

The first human-like traits to appear in the hominin fossil record are bipedal walking and smaller, blunt canines.

Additionally, bipedalism raised hominids' bodies above the ground, enabling their skin to come in better contact with cooler and faster-moving breezes. This allowed for further heat dissipation ...

The newly identified species were older more primitive and much more ape-like than any hominids known before, but already they were bipedal -- certainly the younger one, probably the other as well.

The discovery was one of the first fossils that indicated early hominin bipedalism, and supported the then-new theory that humans evolved in Africa, rather than Asia or Europe. In the mid-1990s ...

One of the most prominent adaptations in hominin evolution has been the ability to walk upright on two limbs. A study published today (August 24) in Nature has revealed that bipedalism was likely on ...
