Again, more than one billion years should pass before the emergence of multicellular organisms, and yet another 500 million years before the first bipedal hominids started to walk upright in Africa. This was around 4- 5 million years ago. These hominids, our ancient ancestors, evolved gradually...
The meaning of AUSTRALOPITHECINE is any of various extinct hominids (genera Australopithecus and Paranthropus) that existed two to four million years ago in southern and eastern Africa and include gracile and robust forms exhibiting bipedal locomotion, n

The first upright, bipedal locomotive weapons system in the history of mankind. ...I guess technically it falls into the anthropoid ape category. Ocelot: I don't see the benefit of having it stand taller. Huey: On terrain with significant differences in elevation like Afghanistan, you need...
Sexual dimorphism is an important feature of adult thorax morphology, but when and how sex-related differences in the ribcage arise during ontogeny is poorly known. Previous research proposed that sex-related size differences in the nasal region ari
The first ANT-contact inhibited the first kinematic tilt of the mandible, whereas the bites starting from a back-tooth (BAT)-contact (the BF-bites) accelerated the first tilt. The second tilt established a low-force static tripod of the ANT- and bilateral BAT-contacts for a fixed mandible-...
Homo habilis - extinct species of upright East African hominid having some advanced humanlike characteristics Homo sapiens - the only surviving hominid; species to which modern man belongs; bipedal primate having language and ability to make and use complex tools; brain volume at least 1400 cc Homo...
In this paper, the evolution of habitual terrestrial bipedalism in the stem proto-hominid is reconstructed through an examination of historical transformations of shared derived morphological-behavioural complexes related to bipedalism in catarrhines. This historical reconstruction indicates that the bipedal ...
