“The Ulas Family That Walks on All Fours”, has left the scientific community in a state of utter astonishment – indiansupdate.com

The Ulas family from Turkey, renowned for their unique quadrupedal gait, took the spotlight in the documentary “60 Minutes Australia”. This extraordinary and unparalleled trait in humans, previously documented in the work “The Family That Walks on All Fours”, has left the scientific community in a state of utter astonishment. The Ulas family stands as a ground breaking instance of a quadrupedal walking pattern within the human species.

During an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Professor Nicholas Humphrey, an evolutionary psychologist from the London School of Economics, remarked, “Our distinction from the rest of the animal world lies in our ability to walk on two legs and hold our heads high… it’s language and other factors as well, but our identity as distinct from other creatures in the animal kingdom is highly significant. This family blurs that boundary.”

60 Minutes Australia proposed that the Ulas family might potentially bridge the gap between humans and apes, suggesting a conceivable “missing link”. Despite its perplexing nature and apparent deviation from the expected norms, their existence carries immense importance.

In a published paper, Turkish scientists postulated the concept of “devolution” as a possible cause, implying a genetic regression spanning around 3 million years of evolution. However, Professor Humphrey strongly rejected this notion, considering it “deeply offensive” and “scientifically unsound”.

Researchers have noted a correlation between individuals walking on all fours and possessing a smaller cerebellum. However, not all individuals with this cerebellum size exhibit the distinctive quadrupedal characteristic. Furthermore, a study conducted by scientists at Liverpool University revealed that those who adopt a quadrupedal stance exhibit skeletal traits more reminiscent of apes than typical humans.

In contrast to the knuckle-walking pattern seen in apes, the Ulas family adopts a distinct flat-handed method of movement. “It’s conceivable that what we are observing in this family aligns with a period when our walking style shifted from resembling chimpanzees to becoming fully bipedal. This might have marked a significant step between descending from trees and evolving into fully upright beings,” concluded Professor Humphrey.
