From Science, a journal I doubt few Republicans read, especially since ("bi-pedalism") it sounds kinda, um, X-rated:

A chimp-sized human ancestor walked upright 6 million years ago, far earlier than anyone had been able to show before, researchers reported on Thursday.

Specialized X-rays called CAT scans of the top of a fossil thighbone show clear evidence that the creature walked upright, like pre-humans, and not like apes, the researchers said.

Their findings, published in Friday's issue of the journal Science, take the dawn of human gait back another 3 million years from "Lucy," the earliest known pre-human to have walked on two legs.

"We have solid evidence of the earliest upright posture and bipedalism securely dated to six million years," said Dr. Robert Eckhardt, a professor in the Laboratory of Comparative Morphology and Mechanics at Pennsylvania State University.

Yeah, if you're unevolved, it's painful to drag your knuckles on the sidewalks of New York—but Zell Miller managed pretty well, didn't he?

But there's a typo in the article... For "six million," the writer must have meant "six thousand." Since the Bible says the earth is only six thousand years old....

And stop that! Right now! No chimp jokes! Show some respect!
