The Evolution of Man

I'm not sure where you get that they "tell us they aren't built for quick escape?"

Summary:Australopithecus afarensis was an upright walking species, but the question of whether it also spent much of its time in trees has been the subject of much debate. For the first time, scientists have thoroughly examined the two complete shoulder blades of the fossil "Selam." Analyses of these rare bones showed them to be quite apelike, suggesting that this species was adapted to climbing trees in addition to walking bipedally when on the ground. 
 
OK; so now it is being said that these man-like-apes or ape-like-men lived in forested locations. Documentaries that I have watched had them living on the open savanna. Along with their fossilized bones, was there not other fossils giving us a picture of their environment?  Reply
