Like most animals btw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitigrade?wprov=sfti1). Then the those animals transitioned into arboreal creatures, which evolved hands in order to climb & live in trees. These animals would’ve had hands & feet like monkeys. Then those arboreal animals transitioned back into walking animals that didn’t climb as much, which turned their feet into something more like chimp/gorilla feet. Then those animals began walking upright, which changed their feet to lose the ability to grasp since they no longer climbed as much. This is what gave humans the feet we have now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago* Alien 1: Wow, humans must go around saying “Kill me…” a lot.
