90 Why bipedalism? there are a lot of theories … several of them related to food procurement and use …

91 Why bipedalism? there are a lot of theories... several of them related to food procurement and use...

92 Why bipedalism? Owen Lovejoy for example, thinks it’s ALL about food...

93 Why bipedalism? Owen Lovejoy for example, thinks it’s ALL about food... “provisioning hypothesis”

94 bipedalism relates to long-distance walking... including carrying food

95 Understanding Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, 8 th Ed., p. 217 Possible Factors Influencing the Initial Evolution of Bipedal Locomotion in Hominids

96 Understanding Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, 8 th Ed., p. 217 Possible Factors Influencing the Initial Evolution of Bipedal Locomotion in Hominids

97 ... and even non-bipeds carry food...

98 Chimpanzee The Primates, Time-Life (1974) p. 71

99 Lovejoy’s ideas on bipedalism specifically relate to male help in carrying food back to the “home base”... known as “provisioning”

100 Lovejoy’s ideas on bipedalism specifically relate to male help in carrying food back to the “home base”... this is known as “provisioning”

101 ... note male help in “provisioning”

102 ... note male help in “provisioning” in Owen Lovejoy’s “provisioning hypothesis”

103 Understanding Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, 8 th Ed., p. 217 Possible Factors Influencing the Initial Evolution of Bipedal Locomotion in Hominids

104 bipedalism is also related to tool use... including such simple tools as a digging stick (dibble / coa)

105 bipedalism is also related to tool use... including such simple tools as a digging stick (dibble / coa)

106 Understanding Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, 8 th Ed., p. 217 Possible Factors Influencing the Initial Evolution of Bipedal Locomotion in Hominids

107 bipedalism is related to hunting

108 Understanding Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, 8 th Ed., p. 217 Possible Factors Influencing the Initial Evolution of Bipedal Locomotion in Hominids

109 Hunting / Gathering / Collecting (foraging)

110 bipedalism is related to seed and nut gathering and feeding from bushes

113 The Emergence of Humankind 4 th Ed., p. 105

114 New York University Press 2005

115 another consequence of our primate heritage and enlarged brain is that we are blessed and cursed with an insensate craving for sweets and fats we seem especially fond of sweet- sour foods in nature, ripe fruits and berries we love animal fats and vegetable fats equally nuts, seeds, oily fruits Everyone Eats pp. 33-34

116 these are high-calorie, easily digestible foods that are most easily found in a rich patch following a burn Everyone Eats pp. 33-34

117 “So the human tendency to crave certain foods is biologically grounded” Everyone Eats pp. 33-34

118 bipedalism and vision (visual surveillance)
