Great discussion. I am very grateful to Mr. Richmond and his team for the exhaustive work they did to bring us these findings! These are truly men and women possessed of both passion and determination, and are a great benefit to our society. I love our scientists.

Great talks! Thank so much, UCSD, for sharing this fantastic institution's conferences online. It's wonderful to be able to access some of the findings and ongoing discussions being done by scholars in so many different fields brought together.

A tip : you can watch movies at kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

Very exciting science and findings. Ward had really fascinating work. I'd love to see her with a good artist at her disposal! I'm very curious about Neanderthal ribs, as they seem to show that bell, rather than our barrel shape. Richmond was also pretty interesting!

Very interesting. That last talk in particular makes me think they probably ate and slept in trees and used their walking capability to get from tree to tree in the savanna while seeing over the grasses, looking for predators. Also very interesting to hear that Lucy probably a more modern looking trunk. Great video.

Very interesting. Impressed. & mystery unsolved. When it comes to bipedalism in our ancestor, I feel awe for their survival skill, or luck (?), without being preyed upon by predators to be extinguished! I would not be alive in Africa by myself in a couple of days, if lucky.

i've seen studies of barefoot footprints over the years - done maybe by athletic studies - or for shoes - or by anthropologists - i guess they aren't widely available

Bipedal walking began in trees with horizontal branches, thus Primus
@nomadpurple6154Ай бұрын
That's got to be one of the most poorly thought out theories I've seen. Standing upright on a branch is very unstable, even now when in high horizontal cylindrical 'branches' humans don't prefer to walk upright, they crawl/shunt along it holding on with their hands. 4 points of contact mean they are much less likely to lose balance and fall to their deaths. They don't hit or get caught on branches above and are less likely to fall to their deaths.

Humans today are still fairly adept tree climbers. ( Thought the last time I tried - I fell and landed in hospital!)
@richdobbs65957 жыл бұрын
I'm 59. I climbed a tree Monday. My daughter accused me of being slow. I accused her of being in the way, hindering how fast I could climb.

The human body has adapted beautifully to bipedal activity - but, every since our eyes began to migrate to the front of our faces, was built, shaped and crafted, on the actions of 40 million odd years of tree climbing . No other activity can so comprehensively utilize every muscle, bone and sinew in the human body with such perfectly proportional distribution. :)

Not as apes go ...perhaps as canids go but a raccoon or an oppossum climbs better than we do .the feet are our weak point. No grasping digit on the feet so climbing efforts fall disproportionately on our weaker upper limbs .

Oops!!
@nomadpurple6154Ай бұрын
Pregnant women are very poor climbers, not having the upper body strength needed. Without pregnant woman (ie losing them through predation) there is no more species.

Why does everyone think it went from waking on four legs to two legs it didn’t work that way with many dinosaurs
@spatrk6634Ай бұрын
all terrestrial life started by walking on four limbs. over time some adapted to bipedality. earliest archosaurs were quadrupeds. dinosaurs are subgroup of archosaurs.

How would be be able to determine mans origins when the Native American Indians keep blocking excavations on remains found such as what I witnessed "Kennewick Man".
@nomadpurple6154Ай бұрын
America simply isn't relevant to the origins of man - you're born of Africa.
