I wasn't around that are eight like ancestors left the safety of their trees and took the first step toward humanity.

They started carrying food over long distances and using tools to prepare it.

What would our world look like if we still walked on all fours?

Detective Morales wakes up on a soft mattress in his room with very low ceilings.

His legs and arms are roughly the same length, which makes moving on all fours much more convenient and faster.

Back pain from standing, walking or sitting upright all day isn't such a problem in this world.

But that doesn't mean Morales isn't exhausted.

He heads to the kitchen with low, wide furniture.

The fridge has pull out drawers that go the whole length of the wall more.

Alice grabs a small packet of milk and pops in a straw.

He's about to take a drink when suddenly the phone rings.

It's built right into the wall and wired as part of his smart house.

The screen shows that it's the sergeant calling.

I Beck, we need to close this case today.

It sounds like it's going to be another great day on the job.

There's a built in sitting space so that the user's hands air free, a common theme for all amenities in this world.

Morales pulls a long shelf from a low wardrobe in his bedroom.

His jumpsuit is easy to step into and fastened closed.

If he hears the word one more time, he's gonna lose it.

It automatically clings to the users back, and a message lights up.

Brain neurons connected when the wired electrodes stick to the nape of the neck.

Since in this reality, a person's hands are used for walking and standing, the eye back has robotic arms that extend and move seamlessly.

Morales puts on his shoes all four of them, although his flexible glove sneakers go on his hands.

Of course, as he leaves the apartment, he looks into the retina scanner that locks the door.

You might be wondering how society has advanced so far.

If people rarely used their hands for anything well, because humans get around on all fours, more blood enters their brains, and this affects the intellect.

The brain might not have developed bigger, but it is more efficient in a world that needs hand free tools and conveniences.

Technology has advanced to meet those demands in the city where our hero lives low, wide buildings lined the streets.

Advertisements and posters are pasted directly on the pavement for the eyes to see comfortably among them, Morales notices an ad for a traveling circus.

His life seems like a circus with what's been happening lately.

Vehicles lie low to the ground like bobsleds on wheels.

The driver lies down on the horizontal see and writes, leaning forward.

But morale is decides to take the snake like bus.

Today he sees people chatting, watching videos and reading e books on the screens extending from their Ivax.

Yes, cinemas are quite different as well.

A huge screen is mounted on the ceiling, and people lie on their backs on soft sofas and watch movies like the Starry Sky.

Apparently, these kids saw a new horror flick.

It was about scary people who can walk on two legs.

Finally, our hero arrives at the beach where someone has stolen a citizen's I back.

Over the past month, I backs have been stolen from people all over the city.

No witnesses, no cameras, no fingerprints or traces.

However, this time Morales manages to find some very strange footprints in the sand.

There was a line of footprints, but no handprints.

How was the culprit getting around without arms?

The detective scans the print with his eye back and finds that sneakers with such a sole pattern are used at a local gym nearby.

They lie on bicycles with four petals, one for each limb you won't find any elliptical machines here.

What's the point when there are no stairs and buildings?

Poor Alice sees two wrestlers grabbing a drink of water at the low fountain near the changing rooms.

A nostalgic smile momentarily lights up his face.

All the gym goers air walking around in the same sneakers that left the footprints on the beach.

Alice wonders to himself as he scans the room.

It looks like the case has led him to a dead end, but that's when he sees a young woman coming out of the yoga room.

She flashes him a smile and Morales grins back.

The woman approaches him and introduces herself as Alice Gs.

If it's his first time here, what with a puzzled look on his face, Morales considers questioning her about any suspicious looking gym goers, but he decides to lay low for now.

Plus, he'd be lying if he didn't admit that he was a little enamored by Alice.

There was something about her, something charming but mysterious.

To his surprise, she invites him to grab a cup of coffee at the cafe down the street.

Instead of chairs and tables, pillows lie on the floor around large wooden coasters.

Sure, you could use your eye back arms to hold your coffee, but it's not very comfortable to lift your head to finish a drink.

That's why straws have become the perfect solution.

They grab their coffees and sit down at a secluded table in the corner.

That's when Morales tells Alice about his investigation, and she admits that she recently seen an upright walking man in the circus.

Morales immediately remembered the faded poster on his block.

It was looking like this unusual case was finally coming to an end.

This'd idea of people walking on their hind legs were seeing Maura and Maurine the movies in arts.

Alice glazed at him from across the coaster table.
