Bpedalism: A Narrative Analysis

149 Words1 Page

One of the factors that on the feedback loop is bipedalism. It was proceeded as primate adaptive strategy, evolved in hominin adaptive strategy, and optimized in human adaptive strategy. We might be able to have questions such as did hominins walk bipedally? or are they bipedalism primates? If so, what kinds of hominins have bipedalism? To answer these questions and determine whether they are bipedalism primates or not, we can make two kinds of hypothesis that are contradicting. One is research hypothesis that there are some hominins that are bipedalism primates. Another hypothesis, which is called null hypothesis (Lab, Introduction to the SM), is that there are no hominins that are bipedalism primates. After formulating these hypothesis, we

  • The Similarities Between Chimpanzee And Bonobos

    Bonobos share 98.7% of our genetic make-up (DNA) (Carroll, n.d.). This leads too many similarities between bonobos and humans, but also some key differences. Being so that bonobos share so much DNA makes them closer to us than they are to gorillas (7 Facts about Bonobos n.d.). Bonobos have an upright skeleton, long legs, and narrow shoulders. They can walk biped ally which means on two feet.

    As was discussed in the previous paragraph, this bipedal aspect is what differentiates us, hominids, from modern apes. However, under the context of hominids in general and modern humans, it is this very trait that allows for us all to be categorized under the same label—hominids. Along the same lines as bipedal, another similarity between the two would be our arched feet—a characteristic that is unique to hominids, as it allows for standing and walking upright to take place. Both of these similarities—bipedal and arched feet—can be evidenced in the “Turkana boy” photo as well as the photo labeled “hominid/ape footprints.” As for differences, however, despite being quite similar in many ways, there are still a number of differences between hominids and modern humans, one of them being the size of our brains.

    Mckenna, I too wrote about the mindless monster and the negative effects it can have on someone. It's crazy to think about the lengths people will go to please someone and will overwork themselves to make sure others are happy. I believe that the only way to be truly happy is to make sure you're good first. The other aspect I agree with was your point on body language. That is something I need to work on a lot as well.

  • Encephalization Vs Bipedalism

    The other key development is hominin brain encephalization. As our extreme encephalization occurs after the onset of bipedalism we can assume that bipedalism was a prerequisite. The increased meat diet of the bipedal H. erectus coincides with increased encephalization. There are a number of theories as to why encephalization occurred. For example, using hands for toolmaking and other complex activities in turn selects for increased encephalization.

    He also mentions that other advantages could have been lower air temperatures as the distance from the ground would be greater and the body would experience higher wind speeds which would evaporate the sweat from the skin faster (Wheeler 1991). The ground absorbs heat from the sun and then radiates heat off the surface so if a hominin never adapted bipedalism then the hominin would become hot a lot faster and therefore they would become tired a lot sooner. Bipedalism helps a lot to retain a lower body temperature than non-bipedal

    With attention to Lucy, bipedalism is a unique quality that links us to the evolution of humans and who we are today. One of the earliest human trains discovered was bipedalism, which meant they possessed the ability to walk on two legs and it became a regular basis. This evolved over 4 million years. The oldest evidence of humans walking on two legs come from the remains of Sahelanthropus. Since it was bipedal, it helped this species survive in diverse habitats (“Walking Upright”).
