In Chapter five we discuss Sahelnthropus tchadensis, touted as the first member of the Hominid tribe to walk upright. New research disputes that conclusion and has erupted into quite a controversy! But, of course, doesn't really impact our main discussion about the importance to music of the transitions to habitually walking-and running-upright. Here's the lay article: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/sep/03/oldest-human-or-just-another-ape-row-erupts-over-7m-year-old-fossil, and another article from Science News with additional citations: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/earliest-known-hominid-limb-fossils-sahelanthropus-tchadensis.
