ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia - A team of U.S. and Ethiopian scientists has discovered the fossilized remains of what it believes is humankind's first walking ancestor - a hominid that lived in the wooded grasslands of the Horn of Africa nearly 4 million years ago.
The bones were discovered last month at a new site called Mille, in the northeastern Afar region of Ethiopia, said Bruce Latimer, director of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
"Right now, we can say this is the world's oldest bipedal [an animal walking on two feet] and what makes this significant is because what makes us human is walking upright," Latimer said.

I guess it could explain this Albob picture.
Albob AKA the missing link.
Yep, I've always been ahead of my time. If it weren't for me and my groundbreaking efforts you'd all still be wallowing in the mud. Oops, sorry Min0, I see you still ARE wallowing in the mud.

What kind of audience does AP have that they need to define bipedal?
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

I found it funny they defined bipedal, but not hominid.
Well, at least the stupid people will know that some weird old assed creature who live 4,000,000 ago(a hominid, defined for them by context clues) walked on two feet, and NOT on a bicycle as they would have thought.
