Natural Science Forum / Biology / Biology / September 2004Chimp-sized hominids walked upright 6 million years ago
Our ape-like early relatives may have begun walking upright six million years ago, not three or four million as generally believed, scientists say. Recent fossil evidence, they report, suggests that a hominid, the size of a chimp, walked upright on two legs in Kenya's Tugen Hills, over 6 million years ago --- about 3 million years earlier than "Lucy," the most famous early biped in our lineage. http://www.world-science.net/newspg2/040902_bipedfrm.htm Well, back to the drawing board then! > Our ape-like early relatives may have begun walking upright six million > years ago, not three or four million as generally believed, scientists say.
