delinquent noun [C]. âº a âperson, usually âyoung, who âbehaves in a way that is âillegal or not âacceptable to most âpeople: âjuvenile delinquents.
Probably the major advantage of walking upright was that it freed the hands to use tools and carry (the pray). Another advantage is seeing further than on four legs, without the need to stop walking and raising oneself for a little while to look around ( like some animals do). Comments. Report.
How do we know Sahelanthropus walked upright? Some of the oldest evidence of a humanlike species moving about in an upright position comes from Sahelanthropus. The foramen magnum (the large opening where the spinal cord exits out of the cranium from the brain) is located further forward (on the underside of the cranium) than in apes or any other primate except humans. This feature indicates that the head of Sahelanthropus was held on an upright body, probably associated with walking on two legs.
