by selecting those variations best suited to a given environment

give birth to live young

We evolved from apes. Apes are quadrupeds – moving around mostly on all fours. Why did some apes start walking upright?
Question 12 options:
Their backs ached.
A climatic change in their habitat occurred requiring them to move quickly from tree to tree over open grasslands. Being upright allowed them to keep an eye out for predators.
They wanted to carry their offspring with their hands instead of clinging to their backs.
They liked walking upright.

because she had knee joints capable of bending proving that she, unlike other apes, walked upright for long periods
d)
all of the above

archaeological remains show complicated structures were built for housing which would require tools
b)
archaeological remains include many tools created by deliberately chipping flakes from stones to make sharp points

archeological remains show many changes in tool development

archaeological evidence of fire pits indicates the use of tools to chop wood
