Resumen de Bendy feet are chimp-like relics made for climbing
Jeremy DeSilva and Simone Gill at Boston University asked 400 adults to walk barefoot around the Boston Museum of Science while they filmed their feet. This revealed that 8% of people have some mid-foot flexibility, rather like that seen in tree-dwelling apes. In another, soon-to-be-published analysis, Robin Huw Crompton at thze University of Liverpool, UK, found that a flexible mid-foot may be even more common than DeSilva and Gill suggest. Crompton thinks flexible feet may have been with humans since the dawn of their species, as a relic of their tree-dwelling days. Other features were lost along the way.
