परिचय

The human foot is a unique and defining characteristic of our anatomy. Most primates have grasping, prehensile feet, whereas the human foot stands out as a powerful non-grasping propulsive lever that is central to our evolution as adept bipedal walkers and runners and defines our lineage.? ?Very few books have compiled and evaluated key research on the primate foot and provided a perspective on what we know and what we still need to know.
