      proper joint for knees and elbows

      How about we perfect the joints we’ve got by having ankles which don’t just give way if you stand on a funny shaped rock or similar?

        Basically the only joints we got that are good are the hips and shoulders. The rest of the joint are what evolution could do (so far) with the bag of bones from fish flippers.
