Isn't this backwards? Or am I mistaken about human evolution? My understand was that our ancestors were not arboreal and walked on all fours then we adapted to walking upright. Therefore, feet became hands.
- akiselev 4y agoThat is some overt bipedalism there :) Many (most?) monkeys like chimpanzees have opposable thumbs on their “feet” so they’re more like a second pair of hands, which get exercised as such by gripping tree branches. Humans, on the other hand, keep their bottom hands in rigid clothing so they never get any real exercise.
