What happened

Researchers at Tel Aviv University found that differences in pelvic structure between men and women affect walking patterns, with male pelvises enabling more efficient long-distance walking. The study compared Neanderthal and modern human pelvises, revealing that male hip joints are positioned to act like springs, while female pelvises accommodate childbirth needs.
