Abstract
Acomprehensive overview of the factors and possible bio-mechanisms that made man what he is, mobile and dextrous; From a hypothesis on an unusual cranio - caudal migration of appendages of locomotion to the formation of an opposable thumb, from digital lengthening leading to knuckle walking as a safer and sager alternative to quadruped movement to the remote functional anatomical effects of bipedal gait. From the stress and peril erect posture has on gestation to the osteological oddities, he squatting facets, this review paper dwells on a gamut of observations and comments engendered by an 'out of the box' view of the process of higher mammalian evolution. An overview such of factors, especially skeletal, that led to evolution of gait, erect posture and biped locomotion could be of much interest to evolutionary biologists, physical anthropologists and forensic scientists.
