PBS show "Nova" looks at a family in rural Turkey in which five of the siblings walk on all fours.

De-evolution ?

Some people call that In-Bred.

I was waiting for Couric to walk on all fours. What a disappointment

It looks like 3 separate stories all combined on one page, but not really separated well.

I read the story, funny thing, humans havent walked on all fours in millions of years. Where is the proof we walked on all fours to begin with?

Hmmmm, good point. I've read/seen stories of people/children growing up with either dogs or wolves and they walked on all fours. Other than that, I've never heard of it.

I saw this story on the news a couple weeks ago. Weird.

But as you know by reading some of the posts on these forums, one can and must come to the logical conclusion that the human race is, in fact, "devolving"

I'm pleased to nominate Earl Jr as the Human Devolving Expert.

Exhibit A: It takes one to know one.

Exhibit B: The first thing to go is the retina.
