Document Summary
Two species: a. kadabba: 5. 2-5. 8 mya: ramidus: 3. 9-4. 4 mya. Abductable big toe but use as a stabilizer in bipedal locomotion. Kanapoi & allia bay, kenya; asa issie, ethiopia. Wet habitat with bush and small tree cover. Streams, gallery forests, wooded savanna, patches of open grasses. Biggest difference is that it has thin enamel. Tentative evidence that they may have inhabited or accessed a forested environment. Bipedalism theory: orthograde posture of arboreal feeding is a pre-adaptation for bipedalism. Bipedalism theory: bipedal posture allows efficient terrestrial harvesting of fruit from small trees. Bipedalism theory: open grassland is rich in food. East turkana, kenya; olduvai, tanzania; konso, ethiopia. Cenozoic epochs (oldest to present): eocene, oligocene, miocene, pliocene, pleistocene, holocene.
