The Ulas family, that walks on all fours, has puzzled scientists

The Ulas family in Turkey, who gained fame for their unique quadrupedal gait, was featured in the 60 Minutes Australia. This extraordinary and unprecedented trait, earlier documented in "The Family That Walks on All Fours", has left the scientific community bewildered. Turkish scientists theorised that some form of devolution might have occurred, causing a genetic reversion of around 3mn years of evolution. Professor Humphrey rejected this notion, finding it deeply insulting and scientifically irresponsible.
