The Bipedalism Impasse

Human beings move in a completely different way from
other creatures. No other animal can walk upright on its

two feet as humans do. Evolutionists, however, claim that
the bipedal upright stride of humans evolved by steps from
the apes' quadripedal bent stride.

his claim is not true. Firstly, the fossil record shows that no life form ever had a way
of movement in between the human and the ape stride. Detailed examinations of
T the fossil record prove that creatures of the Australopithecus and
Homo habilis classes walked on all fours and by leaning forward, while
human races such as Homo erectus and Neanderthal man walked
upright just like us. This means that the bipedal upright stride
emerged with humans for the first time and all of a
sudden.
Besides, anatomical research conducted in recent years
establishes that the gradual evolution of the ape stride
into the human stride is impossible. In 1996, the
British anatomist Robin Crompton, who conducted
research into the bipedal stride of humans,
concluded that a motion in between the
ape stride and the human
