Revolution in evolution

Medicol features an interview with anthropologist Yvette Deloison, who presents a new theory on evolution based on original bipedalism. Author of "The Prehistory of the Pedestrian," she explains in this book our difference from the australopithecine lineage and why they cannot be our ancestors. Yvette Deloison describes the proto-hominoid at the origin of our lineage as a biped living in a semi-aquatic environment. The discovery of fossilized footprints in Crete dating back more than 5 million years corroborates her thesis on our origins, and this opinion, supported by eminent specialists, has never been refuted to this day.

The original bipedalism - New paradigm in human evolution

Medicol is pleased to present an interview with the anthropologist Yvette Deloison and her new theory of evolution based on original bipedalism. Author of “Prehistory of the Pedestrian”, her book explains how we differ from the Australopithecus line and why they cannot be our ancestors. Instead, Yvette Deloison describes the proto-hominoid at the origin of our species as a biped living in a semi-aquatic environment. The discovery of fossil footprints in Crete dating back more than 5 million years corroborates her theory on our origins; an opinion which has been supported by eminent specialists and has, as yet, never been contested.
