Early Humans Walked Perculiarly This was before the invention of toilet paper. Of course they walked funny!

Many people are still knock-kneed. Take William Petersen of CSI. He's so bow-legged I'm thinking he spent a lot of time on a horse when he was younger.

"If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes? "
Huh? That's one of the silly questions people who don't understand the Theory of Evolution ask.
Please do yourself a favor and read a little about evolution, and you'll be able to answer that question for yourself. It's been answered about 500 times so far in these threads.
Besides, humans are apes...taxonomically.

If Amerindians evolved from ancient Asians, why are there still Asians? Hummmm

"At least two species of early humans were knock-kneed and walked rather uniquely.."
Out of the two species, how many examples did they look at? What was their n? One or two? It is hard to make a general statement about an entire species based on one or two individuals. Buyer beware!

Latimer added, "Moreover, it is quite impossible to reconstruct such behavior from isolated bones. The authors have taken on the ambitious task of trying to make sense out of isolated anklebones. They have done a nice job but have, perhaps, pushed the functional analysis a little too far."
How much can they really tell from isolated bones?

Same reason parents don't die because they had children.

We know now, based on our work, that they were as interesting from the knee down as they are from the neck up." Gosh, he left all the good parts out:
