More about the book

Exploring the significance of bipedalism, this book highlights how walking on two legs distinguished early humans from apes, enabling them to navigate open spaces, use tools, and develop communication. Written by an expert in human evolution, it delves into the origins and implications of this trait while incorporating recent fossil findings that reveal a more complex family tree than traditionally taught. This accessible work aims to broaden the understanding of human evolution and its pivotal milestones.
