Why don't humans have paw feet?
(lemmy.world)
Humans are bi-pedal animals who walk extensively over long distances. However our feet are soft and not well suited to the task. However dogs, monkeys, and other animals have paws that serve as shoes to protect the feet.
No other mammal has such unprotected - but we are known for walking the farthest distances / nomadic behavior. Is this a joke?
I want paw feet instead of shoes.
Because we are primates, and none of our forest-dwelling ancestors had paws.
Humans developed footwear before we started walking long distances. We didn't evolve for it, we built tools that let us do things we couldn't do before.
