Foot- پا

When Apollo 11 touched down on the moon, could Neil Armstrong have
made a “giant leap” if we’d never evolved feet? “One small slither for man”
just doesn’t have the same ring to it. In truth, our feet have enabled one of
our most impressive, ah, feats. With its big heel bone, short toes and long,
still arch, the human foot is a defining trail of our genus because it enabled
efficient bipedalism: locomotion on two legs. Being bipedal made humans great
long-distance walkers and runners while freeing our upper limbs to make and use
tools, including weapons. You could say it was a giant leap on the way to
becoming Earth’s dominant animals, for better or worse.
