The theory of evolution predicts that our species evolved from four-legged creatures to two-legged creatures. But when exactly this transition took place is still unknown. Around this date if it’s a new discovery amazing information revealed.

It was discovered in 2001 in the Taurus Menalla region of Chad, a Central African country.Sahelanthropus tchadensisScientists examining the hominin fossil observed the nationality and forearms of the fossils. By comparing the fossils of the thigh and forearm with bones from humans, chimpanzees and gorillas, the scientists were able to unravel the mechanics of how these bones were used and moved.

The creature had the same locomotion as man:

The 20 characteristic points in the fossil of the species, believed to be the oldest representative of the human family tree, revealed whether the creature was quadrupedal or bipedal. The results obtained show that this creature is the standard bipedal form of “human”.ordinary bipedalismHe showed that he has the ability to move. However, it was shared that the creature can also climb trees.

With this result, scientists explained that the way some species climb trees is different from chimpanzees and gorillas. These species include gorillas and chimpanzees. instead of finger and toe bones. he used to climb trees with a firm hand.

It was shared that the creature whose fossil was found lived 7 million years ago. The research is published in the journal Nature.

The following skull was also found in the same area:

Scientists had discovered a skull of the same species in the same area where the fossil was found. This skull revealed that these ape-like creatures could be bipedal. But no definitive result could be obtained. It is believed that this species probably walked on two legs in search of food and water, as well as to climb trees, and lived in a mixed environment of forest, palms and grassland.
