Document Summary
7 - 6 mya (7. 4 6. 5 mya) Bipedal two femur/upper leg bones showed this. Apelike features long, curved finger bones (useful for grasping and movement through trees), apelike canines and premolar teeth. Evidence shows that it lived in more closed, wooded areas helps demonstrate that upright walking did not evolve in an open savanna environment. Eastern africa (middle awash and gona, ethiopia) Opposable big toes helped her climb trees. Very little difference in size of teeth (at least canines) between males and females. Eastern africa (lake turkana, kenya and middle awash, ethiopia) Upper end of tibia/shin bone expanded area of bone bipedalism. Lived in riverine woodlands and gallery forest habitats. Strong arms, curved fingers adapted to climbing trees. 3. 3 - 2. 1 mya (3 2 mya) First early human species to be found on continent of africa. Microscopic wear analysis on molars they ate tough foods. Eastern africa (turkana basin of northern kenya, southern ethiopia)
