The reason humans walk upright could be because of a series of apocalyptic lightning strikes caused by ancient star explosions millions of years ago, exciting new research suggests.Researchers say that a number of supernovae, which began around eight million years ago and peaked 2.6 million years ago, sparked a series of events that led to our species evolving to stand upright.Also on rt.comScientists discover genes that could hold answers to mysteries of our evolutionThe supernovae created a surge of electrons in the Earth’s lower atmosphere. This caused lightning strikes which set off a number of forest fires. The fires burned trees and created wide open air spaces, or savannas, where there had been woodland. This resulted in ancient hominins no longer needing to climb trees, the University of Kansas research suggests.The prehistoric humans lived on all fours before the supernovae, although they sometimes walked on two legs.“After this conversion to savanna, they would much more oft…
