Pros and Cons of Bipedalism
Pros:
One of the most efficient gaits of the animal kingdom
Can carry and use tools while walking
Less area for sun exposure back in Africa (top of the head vs whole back)
Can carry our young since their stupid tiny hands can’t cling to us anymore like proper primates
Taller: see predators coming, pick fruit from trees, give better high-fives
Look scarier to other animals
Cons:
Back hurty
BIRTH HURTY x100
Knees: “I didn’t sign up for this.”
Heart: “I didn’t sign up for this.”
our circulatory system has to work so hard bro
Big tiger can see us better
Did I mention how much birth hurts bc of our stupid upright hips? Seriously, commonly dying in childbirth isn’t an evolutionary benefit smh
Anyway, I would like to hold a re-vote on walking upright, who’s game?
unintended side effect: no tail so our heads got bigger to counter balance and keep us from constantly falling over. enormous skull now full of brain benefit of brain - made friends with wolves problem with brain - v. fragile and invented capitalism
brain so fragile, meat so huge :(
