The position of the foramen magnum, the length of the leg, the shape of the spine and pelvis are four of the seven steps of bipedality.

This distinguish humans and apes because it demonstrates that the human head sits on the body rather than on the front of the body, like apes. The shape of the spine is s-shaped for humans and c-shaped for apes. Specifically, in…

species walks is the shape of the pelvis. It seems to be narrower than even modern humans, indicating a far more efficient upright walk. A H. ergaster male partial hip bone, KNM-ER 3228 is an example of this. “In most of its features this specimen resembles modern human male hip bones. This is especially true for functional features related to weight transfer from the trunk to the pelvis and within the pelvis, and to the effective action of musculature arising from the pelvis during the…
