Reply to comment by Notorious_Rug in I saw in a video that chimpanzees and gorillas do not knuckle-walk in the same way, but they didn't explain what the difference is. Could someone elaborate on the physiological/anatomical differences? by [deleted]
>extend their wrists
What? What does this even mean?
>which is due to the fact that they, like most primates, extend their wrists to preserve their balance
the 'extend their wrists' here is unnecessary and doesn't make sense.
'which is due to the fact that they want to preserve their balance' is better.

Extend the wrist = bend the back of your hand toward the back of your forearm.
Flex the wrist = bend the palm of your hand toward the underside of your forearm.
