Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent analyses have shown that bipedalism in Homo (humans) is more efficient for endurance running. This may have been a key factor in the evolution of the Homo genus. Option A is incorrect as bipedalism has evolved differently in different species of hominids. Option B is partially correct as bipedalism was more efficient in some early hominids such as Australopithecus afarensis, but not necessarily in all early hominids. Option D is incorrect as some primates, such as gibbons and some apes, are capable of limited bipedalism.
