The Story of Human Movement from Bipedalism to the Culturization of Movement

This paper aims to explain the story of human movement from bipedalism to the acculturation of movement. The ability to walk upright on two legs (bipedalism) is the basis of human cultivation of movement.

Mechanics of bipedalism : an exploration of skeletal morphology and force plate analysis

, 2007
There are several theories on how humans learned to walk, and while these all address the adaptations needed for walking, none adequately describes how our early ancestors developed the mechanism to walk.
