About this ebook
We walk because we talk. This is the surprising and compelling conclusion of this essay, which provides an answer to the origin of bipedalism, one of anthropology's most persistent enigmas. By identifying evolutionary parallels with species that currently exhibit this faculty, the author traces the acquisition of vocal learning in the human lineage and proposes a reasoned sequence of events, implying the vocal origin of language, that led to the adoption of bipedalism. Within the fascinating narrative of human evolution, the mystery of bipedalism finds a natural and revealing explanation in an ancestral link with the capacity for speech.
