In this assignment, in 1.5-2 double-spaced pages, you will discuss the evolution of bipedalism. In doing so, you will refer to two of the first bipeds in the evolution of humankind and discuss features that (1) enabled bipedal locomotion and (2) the factors that “selected” for bipedal locomotion. In this assignment, you will be required to refer to (1) species scientific names, (2) absolute dates, (3) location of the discovery you are discussing, and (4) terminology used in the textbook.
This assignment will be submitted to dropbox and you can only use the textbook. In sum, you will address the following questions for your work to be considered complete:
What species provide the first clear evidence for bipedalism?
Where are these species discovered? (Including specific locations and absolute dates)
How do anthropologists explain the evolution of bipedalism? In other words, why did bipedalism emerge?
Provide examples from the textbook and use terminology introduced in Module 2.
You will be graded on
grammar and composition (citation, APA format)
use of terminology that has been used in the textbook
providing examples from the textbook support your points
