Since gibbons, siamangs and humans have a well developed achilles
tendon, but the great apes (which are typically more terrestrial than
the lesser apes), lack a well developed achilles tendon, and the
lesser apes do not climb cliffs nor run about on savannas, it would
seem the mystery has yet to be solved.
In my scenario Achilles tendon plays a role in climbing of vertical
surfaces. To lesser apes tree trunk looks bigger (more like a flat surface,
than an oval surface), than to great apes. But I don't know much about
Achilles tendoms of lesser apes. Anyway, Achilles tendom plays a role in
climbing cliffs. -- Mario Petrinovich
