LONDON (AFP) - The discovery of a Turkish family that walks on all fours could aid research into the evolution of humans.
Researchers believe the five brothers and sisters, who can walk naturally only on all fours, may provide new information on how humans evolved from four-legged hominids to walk upright.

Humphrey, who has contributed to the documentary, believes the style of walking may be a throwback to a form of behaviour abandoned by humans more than three million years ago.
Two sisters and one son have only ever walked on two hands and two feet, while another daughter and son occasionally walk on two feet.
All five are mentally retarded and have problems with language as a result of a form of underdevelopment of the brain known as cerebellar ataxia.

"...The discovery of a Turkish family that walks on all fours could aid research into the evolution of humans..."
Oh! Didn't they just say something politically incorrect?!
At least, if they need to walk on all fours, their hands are kept busy. Scientists should develop this missing link and harvest the benevolent gene for the breeding of all Turks. This way, they're more likely to stay out of trouble

They poke around that population a little more, they're likely to find quite a few more apemen no problem.

They don't have to go as far as Turkey. There are plenty of specimens, here in Europe

The siblings, who live with their parents and 13 other brothers and sisters, are mentally retarded, as a result of a form of cerebellar ataxia — an underdevelopment of the brain similar to that in cystic fibrosis. Their mother and father, who are themselves closely related, are believed to have passed down a unique combination of genes resulting in the behaviour. While Professor Humphrey said that cultural influences in their upbringing may have played a crucial role, with parental tolerance allowing the children to keep to quadrupedal walking, others believe that the cause is more purely genetic.
This is probably the cause.

This is probably the cause.
Ya Know,
Yet they still Figured out how to breed! Inbred, retarded, apelike and all..

Great! They're going to be in the EU before long. Besides the fact that no one in Europe except the Americans, the plutocrats and the evangelical socialists wants them in.
