Human ancestors may have walked upright 12 million years ago -- much earlier than previously thought, study says

Scientists had previously believed the upright posture we have today originated six million years ago in Africa.But the fossils of a previously unknown primate named Danuvius, discovered in southern Germany, suggest apes were displaying the human-like characteristics long before then.The team, led by Madelaine Böhme from the University of Tübingen, worked in a clay pit in Bavaria, where they excavated more than 15,000 vertebrate bones.

"The finds in southern Germany are a milestone in paleoanthropology, because they raise fundamental questions about our previous understanding of the evolution of the great apes and humans," she added.The findings, published in the journal Nature, suggest Danuvius could walk on two legs and could also climb like an ape. His spine had an S-shaped curve which held the rest of the body upright while he stood on two feet.

Just admit that there is nothing like evolution! God created Homosapiens without not having to crawl then walk!

yeah bullshit

Lol. By 'newly discovered' they mean freshly made in a lab.

wow love that story

NOBODY can answer the question if humans evolved from apes..Why are they still evolving. Thank you next.

“May have been.” That does nothing to change anything.
