The bipedal sentient mammals have been the subject of controversy for hundreds of years. Some of the theories in this area include:
* The '''Unified Bipedalism''' theory suggests that there is a suborder called ''[[Bipedaliforma]]'' of the Order ''Omnivora'' which which consists of a single extant infra order called ''Ambidactyliforma'' in which all of the extant bipedal mammals are classified. This is because all of these animals have the following unifying traits: Bipedalism (they predominantly walk upright), opposable thumbs (they have hands on at least their forelegs or arms with three to six phalanges of which the thumb can move in a wide range of angles), they are highly social, sentient (self aware, intelligent, creative, capable of complex language and critical thinking), and have external ears. This theory has not gained widespread support.
*The '''Dwelf Theory Model of Species''' offers another perspective, stemming from the current compatibility of species as well as the notable similarities between several sapient bipeds and other animals. It argues that sapience, as it evolved within the protist ''Adliausora metamorphogenicus'' (known commonly as a slime or symbiote), evolved separately in multiple distantly related species, with the evolution of bipedalism in the life-history omnivore ancestor to Amphoids being used as evidence towards the prospect that mammalian sapients do not necessarily have to be part of the same order as suggested by Unified Bipedalism unless they have some compatibility to produce offspring with other sapients, ascribing species such as Ailurines to the Order Carnivora to better reflect similarities with other members of the order.
