Why Humans Began Walking Upright

Summary:
Most of us walk and carry items in our hands every day. These are seemingly simple activities that the majority of us don't question. But an international team of researchers, including Brian Richmond at the George Washington University, have discovered that human bipedalism, or walking upright, may have originated millions of years ago as an adaptation to carrying scarce, high-quality resources.


Critique:
From the researchers finding this out could they tell us anymore about how us humans do things that we don't thing about day to day.


Impact:
Knowing this would effect many more researching in our futures.

  1. I think Samantha 16 did a good job explaining her topic, Why Humans Walk Upright. I liked how the essay was short and to the point. I agreed with her Critique because I do believe that this topic will help scientists find out more about us. Overall I think that Samantha 16 did a great job on her topic.
