Human Evolution

Alternative life styles

We walk upright on two long legs. We have more fat, heavier bones, and less hair than other great apes. Why?

Competing hypotheses:
  1. Our ancestors were persistence hunters of the open savannah of Africa, and efficient locomotion was important.
  2. Our ancestors foraged in shallow lakes and shorelines of the Mediterranean region.

What was the climate like?
