Walking with Cavemen: First Ancestors
2003 History
It's 3.5 million years ago and in East Africa a remarkable species of ape roams the land. Australopithecus afarensis has taken the first tentative steps towards humanity by standing and walking on two legs. The rift valley was forming, and the rain forests dying as Africa dried out - turning the landscape into a mosaic of scattered trees and ...grass. In this new environment afarensis found it more efficient to move about on two legs rather than four.
