Title: Foot fossils of human relative illustrate evolutionary 'messiness' of bipedal walking.
This article explains the new study on the extinct human relative, Homo naledi that was discovered in a cave in South Africa in 2013 and recently describes last month. The discovery has to do with his feet, that although considered to be the most human-like feature of his body, besides being useful for standing and walking on them they were also good for climbing trees. This discovery article has to do a lot with last week’s lecture because we were talking about the different time periods and most importantly, evolution. Not only does this relate to the lecture, but to biology in general.
