"Traditionally Human" Through the studying of Anthropology, the concept to understand why and how modern humans are here has been developing for a long time. A task, with many new finds of long lost ancestors which led us to unlock the answers to some of these questions. Allowing us to see evolution both physically but, mentally with the tools and culture they have left behind. The split between our chimp ancestors and becoming human.The ones that seems to have stuck throughout the dawn of evolution. All of this wouldn't be possible without Bi-pedialism. "Bi-pedalism is the locomotion of walking on two legs (O'Neil, Discovery of Early Hominins)." This was the main evolution that had catapulted the Homo geneus into the people seen walking

Culture can alter the direction of evolution by creating non-biological adaptations to environmental stresses (e.g., wearing insulating clothes on very cold days). This potentially reduces the need to evolve genetic responses to the stresses. This has meant that we have been able to remain essentially tropical animals biologically and live in colder regions of our planet. Biocultural evolution can also involve a mutual, interactive evolution of human biology and culture. (O'Neil, Biological Anthropology Terms)." That led Homo habilis and Homo erectus to develop by not only what physically made them different but, their own traditions with superficial items(O'Neil, Early Human Culture). Oldowan tradition "the earliest stone tool making tradition. The first Oldowan artifacts were made in East Africa about 2.5-2.4 million years ago presumably by Homo habilis and continued to be made by early Homo erectus until about 1.5 million years ago. They consisted of simple core and flake tools only slightly modified from their natural state by percussion flaking (O'Neil, Biological Anthropology Terms)." This tool gave Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus the edge to live in a world that was always changing. They were two species that helped coast along the way we think today through their own evolution. The way they ate to the way they produced offspring and cared for their own gave them the platform to create
