Yo. Why are feet so awkward and hard to use. like why dont we have hands for feet. i feel like we arent adapt enough yet. feet are so fucking bobo.. toes dont even do shit. like why cant we just have opposable thumbs? feet dont make s sense it would be so much more logical to just have hands for feet??
Our feet used to be just as nimble as our hands, but as we began standing upright instead of on all fours, we slowly evolved for our upright structure. Why? Because with an upright stance we are more able to use tools and carry things with both hands. Before, as with four legs, we had to carry something with one hand and limp with our other hand. So our feet have become strong structures to hold us upright and straight. We are capable of much more when they are like this.

Human feet are much better equipped to handle the stress of standing upright all day erry day than other apes' feet; solid, strong, springy arched structure, etc. It allows us to walk and run with relative ease, something a floppy hand-foot wouldn't be able to do. This foot design allowed primitive humans to hunt and travel better than any other ape.
