Humans evolved into the way they look today probably because of the need to cover long distances, scientists said today.

Maybe walking upright on two legs isn't such a defining human feature after all. Scientists who spent a year photographing orangutans in the rain forest say the trait probably evolved in ancient apes navigating the treetops long before ancestors of humans climbed to the ground &#151; a hypothesis that contradicts science museums the world over.

A new study of the skeleton of a one-meter-high race of âhobbitsâ that lived 12,000 years ago in Indonesia shows that they were a species of humanâand that the evolutionary path to Homo sapiens has been torturous indeed.
