It's likely we developed specialized parts of our brain to be very good at swinging from branches specifically.

- grayclhn 3y agoWe sure as fuck developed specialized parts of our hands…
- db48x 3y agoOur hands are specialized for _grasping_, not for swinging. We grasp things all the time, but we swing very rarely.
- mcv 3y agoNot strong enough. My hands certainly aren't strong enough to grip something and bear my own weight. I'm sure that can be trained, but it doesn't come as naturally for us as it does for brachiating apes.
- db48x 3y agoGrip strength definitely requires training. Most of us leave a lot of performance on the table, as it were.
