Difference between Human and Human skeletal changes due to bipedalism

Human vs. Human skeletal changes due to bipedalism

Humans (taxonomically Homo sapiens) are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. The evolution of human bipedalism, which began in primates about four million years ago, or as early as seven million years ago with Sahelanthropus, has led to morphological alterations to the human skeleton including changes to the arrangement and size of the bones of the foot, hip size and shape, knee size, leg length, and the shape and orientation of the vertebral column.

Similarities between Human and Human skeletal changes due to bipedalism

Human and Human skeletal changes due to bipedalism have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bipedalism, Evolution, Hominidae, Hominini, Morphology (biology), National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution.

Bipedalism

Bipedalism is a form of terrestrial locomotion where an organism moves by means of its two rear limbs or legs.

Hominidae

The Hominidae, whose members are known as great apes or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo, the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan; Gorilla, the eastern and western gorilla; Pan, the common chimpanzee and the bonobo; and Homo, which includes modern humans and its extinct relatives (e.g., the Neanderthal), and ancestors, such as Homo erectus.
