The strange 'cow village', no one knows how to walk, can only crawl on 4 legs

People living in this village cannot walk normally, they can only crawl on all fours and even children.

This strange 'cow village' is located in a remote mountainous area in Ethiopia (Africa), so far from the center so few people know about the existence of this phenomenon. One day, visitors discovered the unusual way of walking of people living here. They move with both hands and feet on the ground, rather than walking straight back like normal people.

People in the "cow village" cannot walk upright like normal people.

At first, tourists thought they were doing it to attract the attention of outsiders. However, after a long time of observing, visitors realize that everyone here moves like that, including children.

Due to constantly crawling on the ground, the bodies of the people living here are not like ordinary people. Their back and waist bones were deformed, and their hips were wider.

Their hands are also larger than normal and rough and rough from often crawling without wearing protective equipment such as gloves. Although crawling like that, their movement speed is not slower than normal people.

In addition to the difference in walking posture, the researchers also found that the life expectancy of people in the 'cow village' is shorter than that of the average person. People with good physical strength will have a life expectancy about 10 years shorter than normal commuters, and people with poor fitness will have a life expectancy of only half that of normal commuters.

Many people believe that the cow phenomenon here is the result of inbreeding marriage.

Some people believe that the cow phenomenon here is the result of inbreeding marriage. Because the village is located in a remote location, outsiders do not want to marry here and the people in the village are not willing to marry outsiders, so the people in the 'cow village' can only marry each other without knowing it. This has serious consequences. As a result, many children born here have birth defects, loss of cognitive ability and walking.

In addition, some experts found that the walking pattern of people in the 'cow village' is very similar to the clinical symptoms of 'cerebellar ataxia'. This disease makes people unable to maintain body balance due to cerebellar disorders for a long time, but the disease cannot explain the changes in their hips.

Have the people here crawled like this since birth? Experts have conducted their own research on this issue. After all, it is still most likely due to genetic mutations caused by inbreeding, but there is still a small percentage of children born completely healthy.

However, this group of healthy children have never seen the way of normal people because the village is located in a remote and isolated area, underdeveloped traffic, so it has been isolated from the outside world for a long time. They can only learn from their parents, crawl on the ground to move and gradually form habits. However, the truth has not yet been announced exactly.
