    Nah, check out some apes, they’ve got opposable thumbs on their feet. Our feet are objectively worse, you can only stand on them.

      We’re a lot better at standing, walking, and running long distances. Not sure if I’d say objectively worse, just better at different things (but objectively way less cool than peeling a banana and eating it with your feet).

        I spend significantly less time doing those things than doing activities that would benefit from having more hands.

          I propose retractable foot thumbs, so you can have human-like feet for walking and monkey-like feet for playing the piano with your toes

            A lot of body parts would be better retractable but that would also be quite the unprecedented mechanism, so durability wouldn’t be great. Sadly, it just wouldn’t be practical
