Hominina

Bipedalism is something people take for granted. Without conscious thought they put one foot in front of the other and stride forward. While great attention is given to a baby’s first steps, little, if any, attention is given to the advantages of this form of movement. The benefits of walking, running, and standing while using two legs instead of four go unremarked. It is simply natural for humans to travel this way. Humans are not the only animals to use bipedalism, birds and some mammals,…

There 's many reasons our ancestors had begun walking around on their two legs instead of running on all fours. Evidence was collected during two trips to Guinea in West Africa, because of the trips, there has been one of several leading explanations for why humans became bipedal (an animal using only two legs to walk) millions of years ago. Researchers from Portugal, United States, Japan and England spent multiple weeks watching chimpanzees in their natural habitats to see how they moved about,…

The primates that possess characterics like bipedalism, smaller canine size and bigger brain size are hominins. Humans are the modern Hominins and the fossils reveal that several species of hominins are extinct. Homo is a type of Hominin that lived around 1.9 m.y.a and it is the immediate predecessor of Homo sapiens. Paleontologists and archeologists have classify each time they discover new fossils that have primates and or derived characteristics. The two groups of anthropologists are lumpers…

Every specie in the earth is came from an ancestor. Their ancestor change over time to adapt to the environment, this theory knew as evolution. Scientist called it a theory not because it just a belief that can’t be prove, but they already found many piece of evidence to prove that this theory is actually true. The three trustworthy evidence for this theory is fossil evidence, homologies, and biogeography. Fossil evidence are the evidence that found in the fossil of a species. Scientist…

Ardipithecus ramidus was around 4.4 mya. They were located in Ethiopia. Their appearances included a skull, teeth postcranial bones found. Although, they still have small brains. Their femur and pelvis made it possible for bipedalism. The shape of their body gives it a helpfully way for them to be bipedal. The centrally placed foramen magnum allows for them to stand a bit straight. Also, the pelvis was bowl shaped and there was a show of lumbar lordosis. Although, they still had longer arms…

Bipedalism and Environmental Adaptability Bipedalism as general definition, is the ability of all types of animals standing in two feet. The environmental Adaptability is the way to get used to a habitat and weather. Both of them played an important role in the evolution of modern humans. According to the book “Worlds Together, Worlds Apart” by Robert Tignor, describes the advantages of bipedalism and the environmental adaptations that allowed modern humans to live into two different…

Creationism is the belief that the universe along with everything in it was created by acts of divine creation. A good example would be how the Christians believe that God is the creator of all things. Evolution is the process of different species developing and diversifying over a period of time to adapt to their environment. A good example would be us. According to scientists we have ancestors that trace back to six million-years-ago to a group called the Ardipithecus group which is our…
