Passage 6

    Our ape-men forefathers had    1     obvious natural weapons in the struggle for survival in the open. They had neither the powerful teeth nor the strong claws of the big cats. They could not     2     with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws    3     an impressive "small-fire" weaponry. They could not even defend themselves    4    running swiftly like the horses, zebras or small animals. If the apemen had attempted to compete on those terms in the open, they would have been    5    to failure and extinction. But they were    6    with enormous concealed advantages of a kind not possessed by any of their competitors.
    In the search    7    the pickings of the forest, the ape-men had    8    efficient stereosoopic vision and a sense of colour that the animals of the grasslands did not possess. The ability to see clearly at close range permitted the ape-men to study practical problems in a way that lay far    9    the reach of the original inhabitants of the grassland. Good long-distance sight was    10     another matter. Lack of long-distance vision had not been a problem for forest-dwelling apes and monkeys because the higher the viewpoint, the    11     the range of sight--so    12     they had had to do was climb a tree. Out in the open, how ever, this simple
solution was not    13    .
    Climbing a hill would have helped,    14     in many places the ground was flat. The ape-men    15     the only possible solution. They reared up as high as possible on their hind limbs and began to walk    16    .
    This vital change of physical position brought about considerable disadvantages. It was extremely unstable and it meant that the already slow ape-men became slower    17    .
        18    , they persevered and their bone structure gradually be came    19     to the new, unstable position that    20     them the name Homo erectus, upright man.
