It is about time for me to reveal my third motivation, no?
Well, I am an evolutionary cell biologist. Yes, the focus of my research is evolution. I know that might sound horrible if you read this from the states, but evolution is a fact, not a theory, unlike other elucubrations and there is no doubt that our body is the reflect of a very long evolutionary history. And our foot is one of them, just like the rest of our body. Our body and our feet have actually evolved to stand, walk and run barefooted. It is only very recently in our history that we have began to wear shoes. And actually a large proportion of humanity still spend most of its time, if not all his time, barefoot. The feet is actually a very impressive device developed to absorb the chocks caused by moving around. And it is only recently that we have put that aside to 'protect' it. The initial idea might have been good, but it has mislead us for too long.
