Human Locomotion and Heat Loss: An Evolutionary Perspective
... Debates over the nature of the LCA remain resolved, but the hypothesis that they were knuckle walkers has farreaching implications for hypotheses about why and how bipedalism evolved in the rainforest contexts in which the LCA, like extant great apes, almost certainly lived. Africa during this perio ...
