    Here are my thoughts on this before I let some others put their 2 cents in:

    The human geno was fully mapped in 2003 so we are positive that we are related to apes.

    we are mammals the way we give birth and have 99% of the same genes as a chimpanzee with around 98% of a monkey.

    I personally think god made us related to Apes so we would rise above the rest.

    We almost have the same birth rates to chimpanzee also.

    You see when we are born we are defenseless in the world until our brain is fully grown..... Unlike a deer or a buffalo who gives birth to a baby that's able to walk and know to stay with the pack. Their brain is smaller and and grows faster.

    However when our brain is fully grown we are the smartest mammal in the world !!!!!

    In the top left of the illustration, you see drawings of the three semicircular canals located in the inner ear, the primary organs for maintaining balance. In humans, two of the three canals are specialized to stabilize the head. Also, in humans, there are fewer muscle connections between the head and the shoulders when compared to the chimpanzee. That’s cause quadruped chimps have to fight gravity in order to hold their heads up while walking on fours. Our head just sits on our necks.

    In contrast to the head and neck, humans have more connections between the gluteus maximus muscle in the butt and the hip than chimpanzees do, which stabilizes the femur into the pelvis and helps keeps the trunk and leg moving together. Both the Achilles tendon of the heel and the tendon of the arch of the foot are much smaller in chimpanzees than they are in humans; in a running person they act like springs, absorbing and releasing energy.

    So to ask, “why do apes still knuckle walk?” is straight up stupid. They don’t walk upright because it hurts, it is draining and inefficient.
