There isn't any reason there couldn't have been aside from the physical limitations imposed by bipedal locomotion. Even G. Blacki was highly unlikely
to have been bipedal as its primary form of locomotion and were far more likely to have moved in a similar fashion as Gorillas and Orangutan's. That
being said, as the last decade has shown us, there are a few more meandering tributaries of hominid ancestry than were even contemplated 20 short
years ago. Denisovans, Floresiensis, Red Deer Cave People and then the genetic lineage of the as yet undiscovered hominid from Central Africa that
there are no physical remains for leaves the door wide open to a multitude of possibilities. As much as the science nerd in me typically sticks to the
evidence, I would be lying if I didn't admit that it was the unknown mysteries and potential cryptids of the world that led me to study Anthropology
in the first place. I always try to keep an open mind regarding the possibilities.
