We travel back to 9.5 million years ago, into the Miocene epoch, to reconstruct early primates beginning the journey toward walking upright. This video presents in 3D detail how skeletal changes — in pelvis, spine, limbs, feet — allowed mixed tree-climbing and ground movement.
Discover fossil evidence, anatomical adaptations, and the environmental pressures that pushed these primates to adapt. From fragmentary jaws to partial bipedal posture, witness the evolutionary steps that set the stage for Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and eventually our own species.
▶️ What you will learn:
• Key fossils and what they tell us about locomotion
• Anatomy of upright walking: pelvis, spine, legs, feet
• Why upright walking began: climate change, environment, predator risks
• How mixed locomotion (arboreal + terrestrial) shaped early human ancestors
