The story of human evolution has been one of the biggest mysteries on the planet, and it is one that keeps getting interesting. Researchers have now found that humans might not have learned to walk on two legs on the land.

Instead, their upright walk developed on trees.

Human bipedalism – walking upright on two legs is a unique feature that characterizes homo-sapiens and researchers have long been interested in decoding this unique behavioural change that separates us from other living organisms on the planet.

In a study published in the journal Science Advances, researchers explored the behaviours of wild chimpanzees - our closest living relative - living in the Issa Valley of western Tanzania, within the region of the East African Rift Valley. The chimpanzees’ habitat is very similar to that of our earliest human ancestors.
