What if I told you that there was a species of Ape living in the Miocene some nearly 12 million years ago, in the area now known as Germany that walked upright. Back in 2015 in a clay pit in Bavaria in Germany the first fossils of a Late Miocene great ape now known as Danuvius guggenmosi were discovered, these fossils were dated to 11.62 million years ago. The fossilized partial skeleton of a male ape that lived in Southern Germany was bearing a striking resemblance to bones of us modern humans, which raises some fundamental questions about our understanding of the evolution of Great apes and Humans as well. Among the remains were some well-preserved bones that led the scientists to reconstruct how Danuvius guggenmosi would move, and while this species was able to hang from tree branches by using its hands and arms, it was also able to straighten its legs and walk upright. The discovery of this species and its bones changes the perception of early human evolution, which used to be believed to have only occurred in Africa, but now there is evidence of Hominins walking in Europe before the hominins started doing the same in Africa. #EuropeanHominins #DanuviusGuggenmosi #GraecopithecusFreybergi Music: Celtic Music – Queen of the Fae Sources: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1731-0.epdf?sharing_token=p0TRYYITchf-D5Fcnrbz-dRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0MpMJV7uq1pC2z9TlFLcopWAwsUutKmnIQkQ9UatmGBhDuPl4t7OfVmgRJtrM_HoVBohV4ypryogRO_rablZpmu4B1zW0exa5qqf_2idE2fagj70WcNA8kaMmra9DZIJKDK5w08g3oGFeB9ip5r0XeKi7NUxhoDhPZh0udeupqmbJAc1mG0YzVcwW2DoGV5U9NA6WfEhcZbldeZkvRPYqDXKyHhA5L89uCa2vxwHZbmtuJbJt7fzX_bHdjBoA6LbCU%3D&tracking_referrer=www.cbc.ca https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/new-ancient-ape-species-rewrites-story-bipedalism-180973479/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/2222656-did-apes-first-walk-upright-on-two-legs-in-europe-not-africa/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-science-ape-idUSKBN1XG31L https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/bipedal-ape-danuvius-guggenmosi-1.4637336 Become a Channel member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMwDeEoupy8QQpKKc8pzU_Q/join Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HistoryWithKayleigh Human Evolution: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyM1QcUGVGddXxYT_n_2XNxJI1IqYnziF Ancient Structures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyM1QcUGVGdfmvhQKoWzGJnJgQ4BfaplL Ancient Queens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-5ENRuFn9g&list=PLyM1QcUGVGddonv6zBIjfj30EyMavpBPy&index=1 New Discoveries: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyM1QcUGVGdfCySvH9f3ReUXsuPbW0hAU Fact or Fiction?: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyM1QcUGVGdeib_J7to1OuMEa6635OoQo Please leave a comment, like & subscribe!
