Bring tails back. Itβs clearly what we need. An evolutionary reversal.
I think the dino in the film needs to work on its cadence, but has a very nice, light, ground-skimming (βflossingβ) foot strike.π¦

Though I think a fat tail like that would get in the way of a fine set of glutes. Maybe thatβs why we ditched our tails.
Plus their arms are way too short to be any good. How on earth could they read the stats on their garmin?

Love it, do you think plastic surgeons will start doing a roaring trade in giving people tails now ππ€£π¦π¦

Brilliant! But I imagine the connection of tail to body needs to facilitate expressive and functional movement.
