Do you think it beats walking though? That's the best answer I've seen so far on this thread.

I know too little about that. But I would think humans would learn to walk without that expertise being ‘passed down from person to person’.

I'd guess that our kind of walking co-evolved with teaching it.

I think you're on to something here. But it's got to be baser. How about just that knowledge should be shared?
