Re: A *Dry* Discussion About The Origin Of Bipedalism

Rich,

Per above, apiths & chimps have long toes.

AFAIK humans have short toes.

Gibbons & humans are obligate bipedalists in compressional locomotion.

You mention elsewhere that apiths (all spp. IYO?) were obligate
bipedalists.

Why? Were their arms so short that they could not habitually palmwalk
or knuckle-walk or fist-walk?
