The seven-million-year-long journey through the origins of upright walking shows how it was in fact a gateway to many of the other attributes that make us human―from our technological skills and sociality to our thirst for exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeSilva uses early human evolution to explain the instinct that propels a crawling infant to toddle onto two feet, differences between how men and women tend to walk, physical costs of upright walking, including hernias, varicose veins and backache, and the challenges of childbirth imposed by a bipedal pelvis. And he theorises that upright walking may have laid the foundation for the traits of compassion, empathy and altruism that characterise our species today and helped us become the dominant species on this planet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39325482090562,"sku":"","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/4884\/7170\/products\/9780008342845.jpg?v=1620364270"},{"product_id":"nis-the-trials-of-life-a-natural-history-of-animal-behaviour","title":"The Trials of Life : A Natural History of Animal Behaviour Centenary Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe third and final updated edition of David Attenborough’s classic Life trilogy.
