Did You Know?
Walking upright costs humans roughly a quarter of the energy that walking on all fours would, according to a study comparing human and chimpanzee locomotion. That efficiency is a big part of why our ancestors could travel further between food sources as forests thinned into open grassland.
Nietzsche was blunt about it: "all truly great thoughts are conceived while walking." He, Kierkegaard, and Rousseau all wrote about walking as close to essential for their thinking, not just exercise.
