Chimpanzees scampering on a treadmill have provided support for the notion that ancient human ancestors began walking on two legs because it used less energy than quadrupedal knuckle-walking, scientists said.

The fossil of an ancient species of ape, discovered at a construction site in western Spain, has revealed that great apes went through more evolutionary stages than previously thought.

Description: Two scientists pose a new evolutionary idea: We run, therefore we are. They contend that humans developed the way they did in order to run long distances.

To err may be human, but so, too, may be the ability to run. Specifically, the ability to run long distances across the African savannah may have given human ancestors an evolutionary advantage

Humans were born to run and evolved from ape-like creatures into the way they look today probably because of the need to cover long distances and compete for food, scientists said on Wednesday.

Humans evolved from ape-like ancestors because they needed to run long distances - perhaps to hunt animals or scavenge carcasses on Africaâs vast savannah â-nd the ability to run shaped our anatomy, making us look like we do today.

We are born to run. According to new research, our bodies are highly evolved for running long distances, an ability that allowed our ancestors to conquer the African savannahs.
