Walking

Why do people walk the way we walk? I mean what is it in our society that causes us to walk in a way that our face is pointing the same direction as our forward progress. Think about it. Who was the genious who saw everyone crawling around and then said “Wait, why not just walk on the back two?” But why did he decide to lead with the toes? It makes more sense if people just started walking “backwards” (or what we currently define as backwards). This way you would never have to whip your head around when someone calls your name, you would never get shot in the back (because your back would now be your chest), you would never have to “look out behind you!” because you would be looking behind you already. It’s the perfect solution to absolutely none of the world’s problems. But still, it would be cool to see a bunch of Germans walking into things yelling at lampposts.
