Museum Curator Brian Richmond and Boston University anthropologist Jeremy DeSilva explore the great advantages of walking on two legs, as well as the unfortunate consequences of evolving bipedalism from a body plan designed to walk on four, not two, legs.

This SciCafe took place at the Museum on April 1, 2015.

The SciCafe series is proudly sponsored by Judy and Josh Weston.

This SciCafe event is presented in collaboration with The Leakey Foundation.
