The fossil record clearly indicates that habitual bipedalism had evolved approximately 4 Ma; however, there is tantalizing evidence that upright walking may go farther back into the Pliocene, or even into the Miocene. Recent fossils demonstrate that the evolution of bipedalism was not a simple, ...

2019 There was debate as to which came first: upright walking or higher cognition, with the dominant view being that the evolution of the human brain preceded the development of bipedalism. Rebecca Mead, The New Yorker, 8 Apr. 2024 See All Example Sentences for bipedalism ...
It is a complex activity involving the joints and muscles of the whole body, and it is likely that the evolution of the human gait took place gradually over a period of 10 million years or so. More From Britannica primate: Bipedalism The pattern of locomotion of human ancestors immediately...

The possible reasons for the evolution of human bipedalism includethe freeing of the hands to use and carry tools, threat displays, sexual dimorphism in food gathering, and changes in climate and habitat (from jungle to savanna). When did the first hominins appear?

“Our study suggests that the retreat of forests in the late Miocene-Pliocene era around five million years ago and the more open savanna habitats were in fact not a catalyst for the evolution of bipedalism. Instead, trees probably remained essential to its evolution – with the search for fo...
