I went there and acknowledge that coke paid for my degree that eventually lead to a PhD. I drank a Pepsi today. Felt guilty about it. Their influence is strong there.

Reply to comment by DellSalami 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]
Think a vertical orientation of the hand vs a more canted orientation of the hand. Neither ball their hand up or place their palm on the ground while locomoting — they use the middle set of knuckles for support. Interestingly, what you describe is somewhat akin to what’s seen with orangutans when on the ground or arboreal monkeys respectively.
