Infant humans pass through a knee crawling phase, which is significant.
Yep, knee-crawling was definitely an
ancestral form of locomotion.
I'd agree with Marc's statement that human ancestors did not pass
through a knuckle walking phase.
Ever heard of Richmond & Stait?
Our nearest relatives are chimps. The
next nearest are gorillas. Both knuckle-
walk. Marc's views have some crazy
motivation and no logic.
