Wrangham describes how humans have some different abilities than chimpanzees‚ although there are some positives there are also drawbacks.

Explain how Lucy could be viewed as “the missing link” Australopithecus Afarensis‚ commonly known as Lucy‚ can be seen by many scientific and historic facts as ‘the missing link’. Anthropologists show that Lucy is a transitional fossil which helps prove the way hominids changed throughout the ages. Bipedalism is the biggest and most important evidence that Lucy has shown to tell one how she lived in the chain of evolution. The morphology of Lucy’s skeleton has so many different characteristics

Rachel Harrison presents… The Aquatic Ape Theory! The aquatic ape theory is an alternative explanation of human evolution that suggests modern man spent some time adapting to a semi-aquatic environment before taking on its current form. This idea was first proposed in 1942‚ and its greatest proponent since that time has been Elaine Morgan. The aquatic ape theory‚ although compelling‚ has failed to become accepted within the scientific community. Max Westenhofer first published an account of
