Science Café Cleveland presents:


 

 

Why Do Knuckle-Walking African Apes Knuckle-Walk?

 

NOVEMBER 12, 2018

 

FEATURING:

 

Scott Simpson, PhD

Professor, Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, CWRU


EVENT INFORMATION:

Walking on your knuckles is absolutely as odd as walking bipedally—a very peculiar way to get around! Only chimpanzees and gorillas do it, yet it doesn’t make sense, and this has bothered anthropologists for years. No one has come up with the reason why... until now! Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have cracked the evolutionary mystery! Join Scott Simpson, Professor in the Department of Anatomy at the CWRU School Medicine, at this month’s Science Café Cleveland to discuss why knuckle-walking African apes knuckle-walk!
