Six million years ago, no wonder my back hurts.

While this may be true...it’s not 100%. As evidence, I offer several of the young ‘duudz’ who developed unhealthy interests in my daughters. Everyone of them was a stoop shouldered, knuckle dragging, mouth breather. Upright? Shucks, they couldn’t even keep their drawers above their skivvies...

Just sayin’...

Looks like we’ll be returning to that if the idiot government doesn’t do something about the high price of transportation.

I thought I read that it was actually 6,000,001 years ago ...

Thanks Blam.
a fragmentary piece of femur - which was discovered in Kenya in 2000
So this actually happened 2,000,008 years ago.

The challenge ahead, explains Dr. Jungers, is “to identify what precipitated the change from this ancient and successful adaptation of upright walking, and climbing, to our own obligate form of bipedalism.”

Before transforming to full upright walking, I would expect in order to face off predators, these hominids would have developed some level of language to coordinate group defense and attacks and would have routinely carried weapons such as clubs and rocks. Once they did this, I can see them having the confidence to walk away from an arboreal life.

6 million years ago? That’s incompatable with The Book. Did these “scientists” call in sick on God’s creation day?

I love the smell of b-s in a headline.
"Our study confirms that as early as six million years ago, basal hominins in Africa were already similar to later australopithecines in their anatomy and inferred locomotor biomechanics," adds Dr. Jungers. "At the same time, by way of the analysis, we see no special phylogenetic connection between Orrorin and our own genus, Homo." ...the authors articulate that the analysis and morphological comparisons among femora from the fossils showed that O. tugenensis is distinct from those of modern humans and the great apes in having a long, anteroposteriorly narrow neck and wide proximal shaft. Early Homo femora have larger heads and broader necks compared to early hominins. In addition to these features, modern human femora have short necks and mediolaterally narrow shafts. The challenge ahead, explains Dr. Jungers, is "to identify what precipitated the change from this ancient and successful adaptation of upright walking, and climbing, to our own obligate form of bipedalism."
...IOW, to identify how a parallel ancient and successful adaptation of upright walking led to a dead end.

Upright Walking Began 6 Million Years Ago

That's right, exactly 599,993,453 years before the Good Lord created the Earth and all the planets that revolve around it!

And that one looks like a ducky!

Both of my kids were early walkers, but 6 million years? Gimme a break!

Democrats just began walking upright in the early 1900s.
