Who would have known, for 6 million years our ancestors have been doing something the body was not designed for 
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A chimp-sized human ancestor walked upright 6 million years ago, far earlier than anyone had been able to show before, researchers reported on Thursday.
Specialized X-rays called CAT scans of the top of a fossil thighbone show clear evidence that the creature walked upright, like pre-humans, and not like apes, the researchers said.
Their findings, published in Friday's issue of the journal Science, take the dawn of human gait back another 3 million years from "Lucy," the earliest known pre-human to have walked on two legs.
"We have solid evidence of the earliest upright posture and bipedalism securely dated to six million years," said Dr. Robert Eckhardt, a professor in the Laboratory of Comparative Morphology and Mechanics at Pennsylvania State University. |

Monkeys (animals, or primates of the human ancestor family) have been known among scientist to be the most fascinating to study in all of the animal kingdom. In fact some have dedicated their lives to study the family structure as well as the behavior within the communities.
Man has found out many interesting things about himself from these studies. In fact even regarding TMS.One is that; in a natural environment these animals exhibit an emotional connection with there young that effects their future heath, and well being.
If disturbed in the wild or forced into captivity the outcome of their relationships within the community changes dramatically and the bonding process is altered within his community and direct family tree.
This disturbance causes anxiety, sickness mental illness and even death.
It is known that most of all of the animals in the monkey family live in a community setting, and even adoption is possible, once a bond is made they are even excepted as their own and even protected by various members of their community.
Wow !!!
So I wonder if these primates walked upright 6 thousand years ago and man evolved from them, wouldn’t the last descendants walk upright also?
Dave this is for entertainment only

Do not use any of this information for diagnosis or treatment of TMS or any other related disorder
Possibly, once man came along we disturbed them in their natural environment causing much stress and anxiety.
Which in return they started to develop bad backs and begun to gradually hunch over.
I hope these poor monkeys didn’t develop TMS, what would they do without Sarno?
Maybe adjust, slump over and evolve with longer arms to compensate for the slumped backs.
Hey wait a minute that would be even worse, now you have a structural abnormality.
This is getting real confusing???
Ya know my grandfather was hunched over when he got older, he also came off the coast of Africa on a small Island that was populated as an Italian settlement. He hated bananas but my gramer needed them for potassium, she might of had IBS.
Quick lets call Gary and possibly he can do a google search to find out if their have been any chairs discovered earlier than 5 thousand years ago. Then that might coincide with the 6 million-year upright monkey.
While he’s there he could check out the spellin and the meaning of bipedalism.
Always Hope For Recovery
