IMPACT OF BIPEDALISM. “The reduction of the olfactory mucosa seen in humans is strongly associated with the adaptive shift of a quadropedal locomotion gait to bipedality. Homo erectus is considered the first committed biped in our evolutionary history, which required the repositioning of the foramen magnum (a more anterior inferior placement) in order to balance the skull over the vertebral column and accommodate erect posture.”
