“The idea of walking raises the question of when we start. When are we first bipedal? When do we start walking? And how is that achieved? And what exactly is the nature of the foot? Often scientists have to extrapolate from just one fragment of a skeleton, and more recent finds are transitional specimens. If you find a hand, you might think it's Homo sapiens. Even in those earlier characters with very long arms and short squat bodies and small brains, their hands and feet look like Homo sapiens. You have to have more complete skeletons to be able to arrive at better information.”
