How paleoanthropologists used the type of evidence

Reference no: EM133208698

Question: At this point, we have covered a lot of material about evidence for bipedalism. Using that material (information from Chapter 9 and from this Module's lectures), explain at least one piece of fossil evidence that paleoanthropologists have used to show that an ancient primate was a hominin (a primate that walked on two feet; also a fairly close relative of humans).

To properly answer this question and to explain this evidence, you should describe WHAT the fossil evidence you selected is/what it looks like and WHY it indicates that a species was bipedal as opposed to quadrupedal or fully arboreal. You should also discuss at least one species as an EXAMPLE, showing how paleoanthropologists used the type of evidence that you selected to support an argument that the species was bipedal.
