Evidence that Human-like Walking Mechanics Evolved Before the Genus <em>Homo</em> (IMAGE)
Caption
Footprints from (A) a modern human walking normally, (B) a modern human walking with a stooped posture known as the "bent knees, bent hip," or BKBH, posture, and (C) 3.6 million-year-old hominin footprints found in Laetoli, Tanzania. The team's analysis suggests ancient hominins probably walked in a way that is very similar to modern humans.
