The Seven-Million-Year-Long Journey - Why Humans Stood Upright ~ with JEREMY DESILVA
Description
What caused the ancestors of human beings start walking upright? The seven-million-year-long-journey started in the trees of Africa and culminates in Homo sapiens dominance of the globe. But the answers to 'why' and 'when' are still elusive.
JEREMY DESILVA is an anthropologist at Dartmouth College. Jeremy ('Jerry') specializes in the locomotion of the first apes and early human ancestors. His most recent work focuses on the origins and evolution of upright walking in the human lineage.
In this Evolution Soup Special, host MARK talks with Jerry about the various theories relating to bipedality and specifically about recent hominid discoveries Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi.
