Abstract
THE evolutionary origins of human bipedalisms are still poorly understood, but recent discoveries of fossil hominid femora in Africa reveal some interesting details. Especially important are several new fossils discovered by the expedition led by R. E. F. Leakey to East Rudolf, Kenya1–9. The purpose of this paper is to find the morphological and functional affinities among higher primates of these and other fossil femora in the hope of revealing more about the nature of early hominid locomotion.
