What always seems to get overlooked and underappreciated in most of these discussions is that it is very likely our ancestors, since apes, have been making and using tools (mostly bone and wood) - just not making stone tools which according to recent discoveries may go back 3.3 million years.

[@wafikiri_]

Do not forget one of the most useful tools: ropes. Unfortunately, the very nature of ropes (probably vegetable fibers and maybe sinew) prevents their preservation across millions of years. But I'm pretty sure they were used by pre-humans, otherwise our human children wouldn't be able to learn to lace their shoes so easily. I still expect some fossil record of rope imprints in fossil ground will someday show up.

[@mwmcbroom]

In my graduate research from about 20 years ago, I concluded that bipedality first emerged in an arboreal environment. Nobody I told this to at the time gave my hypothesis much credence, but I knew I was right, partly because I found the savanna hypothesis to be unworkable. One also needs to bear in mind that the old growth forest environment back then contained trees with horizontal branch runs that were large enough for hominins to transverse easily bipedally where they could stabilize themselves by reaching out - brachiating - for balance, the way present day orangs and gibbons do. Thus, bipedality emerged not as a primary, but as a secondary trait, a trait that was just what the species needed when the Savannah grasslands began to emerge.

[@davidkeenan5642]

I totally agree with you. Bipedality must have originated first when our ancient ancestors were still forest dwellers, I still thinking about what the advantages would have been, maybe you can give me your thoughts on that.

[@albino4199]

What is it a neanderthal?

[@followthefleet1]

Forgot language! And the evolved location of the human larynx. That's the huge difference between humans and all other living things: Our ability to communicate complex ideas and emotions.

[@grigorigahan]

Ravens can make upwards of two hundred distinct sounds. Obviously the anatomy of the larynx is important, but I think the brain likely played a fare greater role in the development of language. Or to put it more simply we developed brains capable of language and then evolved the anatomy to do so, not the otherway around in my estimation.

[@ulalaFrugilega]

Complex ideas - maybe. Emotions are clearly communicated by dogs, and even by cats who are not social animals and don't have any natural use for communicating happiness.

[@whatabouttheearth]

Language developed with brain development which partially happened due to a loosening of the muscles around the head connected to the jaw which is why we human have a weaker bite. We are still classified as the FAMILY of Hominidae, great apes, because those are the SPECIES most closely related to our SPECIES of Homo Sapien. Just because birds have wings doesnt mean Penguins can fly or that they are not still birds. We probably developedmore complex pattern recognition by being a more migratory ape and that advancement of pattern recognition probably assisted in the Wernickies and Brocas areas of the brain which are primary for the understanding and transmission of spoken word

[@metalhead0274]

Well we definitely see many other animal species with displays of emotion. We see more and more how almost any species of a socialistic pattern develop and have a moral system of some sort. While humans have evolved to develop a more complex speech , almost all species have a speech form to communicate and some are quite complex . Look at whales for example. Here is a form of complex communication for you to look at, luminescent jellyfish and other light giving deep sea creatures. They communicate by light. And they have no "eyes" to perceive that light as we do as humans and other life that can see it. Humans are jot that much above other species..we are just evolved differently. Look at all of our weaknesses compared to the strengths of other species.. Guess the lesson would be..try changing your perspective of how you look at things...keep an open mind..try different approaches and views. Be a bit open minded.

[@TheJaved2009]

Human brain is like an empty hard-drive with basic built-in traits or senses. It evolves with outside interaction and it communicates accordingly. Some basic functions of organs don't require to be taught. Those are built-in if brain functions normally.

[@Lanja1991]

Adrian Dane Kenny bigger skull

[@American-Plague]

I may be mistaken but I believe it is based on the size of the brain in relation to the size of the body. An elephant has aa much bigger brain overall but in comparison to the size of their body this isn't so. It takes more brain matter to be used to make a bigger body simply function (as opposed to being used for higher thinking) to live [heart beat, breathe, etc.] than it does for a smaller body. So the bigger the brain in relation to body size, the more of that brain can be put to other uses such as higher cognitive thinking other than functions necessary for just survival only. I'm no expert on the matter but I believe this is at least part of the answer.

[@kevinsysyn4487]

What makes us human is our brain. The evolution of the brain is the key. I'm no scientist but it seems to me the evolution of the brain triggered with emerging from the deep jungle. In the jungle the sense of sight was only useful at very close distance. By the time you saw a predator it was too late. As the jungle shrank eyesight became more useful and the pre-humans began to stand up on to feet to look over tall grass and further. As they did this they began to "think" about what they saw. They couldn't smell or hear it but they "learned" about what they saw. This led to reason, predicting the movement of a prey or predator. They probably lived largely on insects and seeds easily obtainable. When they saw grass moving abnormally they learned it was a hoard of grasshoppers and they would gorge themselves on them and recognize from a distance a patch of berries or other food sources. The wider open the plains became the more useful eyesight. The more they used eyesight the more thy used their brain to think about what they saw. The eyes and brain evolved together. In later times they would see quarry, deer for example, and predict where they might intercept them and develop sophisticated hunting strategy. Thinking became more and more useful. Keenest eyesight and biggest brains were the "fittest" and it probably really accelerated compared to pelvises and such.

I wonder what advantage those earliest ancestors gained from bipedal walking while still in the trees.

[@johnhungerford6073]

They are making a leap. The second skull could have been a petering out “losing” branch of evolution and not necessarily our ancestor. That would open up the timeframe for development. Need to protect against “tunnel vision” earthlings lol

[@timothymcinvale1174]

I agree 100%

[@johnandkayvest4917]

After you find the transitional fossils try and find one for the apes .I say there are none . We reproduce after our " kind ".

Glad you enjoyed it!

I cant imagine how frustrating it has to be for a person to only have a very tiny scope that they have to make everything fit or not have a career, it has to be sad. no black swans aloud.

I am trying to understand why someone wouldn't like a video like this? you either like or you don't care but dislike? why?

well because this content runs athwart to their worldview, and people generally dont like it, it is hard to admit that I was stupid and gullable for most of my life.

[@silveriorebelo2920]

how can they know that the animal was bipedus? they have not collected the femur encassing - that is the decisive for discerning if there was erectus locomotion or not

[@mikel6668]

great video

[@MathewThomasFET]

Are ALL the bone fragments from the same dead body of a single creature?

[@heavyhanded1782]

Mathew Thomas they have no idea all they can do is guess and have faith which is ironic.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

The Naledi finds in South Africa render some of the conclusions in this video out-of-date.

[@dsscroggin2800]

These finds are amazing but I do worry that some of them might just be extinct primates not along our lineage at all. I can see how some of these early discoverers might wish their discoveries to be hominid and therefore interpret them as such with a little bias. Like Lucy's pelvis. Still amazing finds.

[@armorplates8848]

Anyone have the worksheet answers

[@jstreet2852]

Stuff just keeps changing.

[@American-Plague]

Yes, this is the nature of science. Things change as we find new facts and information. As Please Complete All Fields asked: would it be better if nothing changed? Like how religion works? That way we could still be walking or riding mules, know nothing of disease, have no electricity or clean water...in short have absolutely zero idea about anything that's going on at all. We could cure extremely contagious diseases the way they do deep in the jungles of 3rd world Africa: by "bleeding the witches out" thereby spreading more hepatitis to everyone in the vicinity. That'd be great huh?

[@jstreet2852]

@Please Complete All Fields New evidence is found? And its not religion or science , its the truth I am looking for. So, whenever, some "new evidence" comes along you just except, huh. Well I am sorry, but too many lies have been told

[@jstreet2852]

@@American-Plague The nature of science? Well it depends on whose telling it and their reason. Too many lies have been told, but I should believe the latest that's been told. You go right ahead and believe.

If you don't like change, you need to change.

[@jstreet2852]

@@bluntrapture you continue to be a robot. And who was it that told you that Columbus didn't discover America, and when did you believed it. Some scientists and researchers have said that Africans were in America before the red man and the white man. Do you accept that change.
