Advantages and Disadvantages of Bipedalism

There are many advantages and disadvantages to being bipedal. Bipedalism can simply be put as having the ability to walk on two feet.

There are not many species that are bipedal, but Homo sapiens are probably the most advanced when it comes to walking on two feet. It is really the only way of transportation that humans know.

Humans were not always bipedal. It wasn’t until about four millions years ago that anthropologists started to see changes in the skeletal structure of the Autralopithecus Afarensis. Many people say that this species is the root of all hominid evolution (Hunt 1993).

Some trends that were seen in the skeleton were in the foot, femur, and pelvis bone. These changes are directly related to being bipedal. Many could be considered good and helpful but a few things almost seem as though they were better the way that they were before.
