How shoes change our bones and human walking
Original: How shoes change our bones—and what that tells us about the evolution of walking
University of Chicago researchers are reporting that wearing shoes leaves measurable changes in the bones of the feet and legs, and that these changes offer clues about how human walking evolved. The work connects modern footwear habits to the skeletal record, suggesting scientists can read lifestyle and footwear use from ancient bones to understand the evolution of bipedalism.
Why now: Fresh research coverage linking everyday footwear to bone structure and human evolutionary history is drawing attention.
