« Dans ma liste de récurage intégral de la nation, me dit Pichon dans la micheline qui nous menait aux Aubrais, il y a d'abord les bicots, puis les macaques, les strolls et enfin les youpins. » Je m'enquis de la signification de « strolls » : « Les bouffeurs d'oignon, les suceurs de mandrin. »

Once our ancestors got moving on two legs, they kept on walking, and that journey has continued right up to today. In a lifetime, the average person will take about 150 million steps—enough to circle Earth three times. We stroll, stride, plod, traipse, amble, saunter, shuffle, tiptoe, lumber, tromp, lope, strut and swagger. After walking all over someone, we might be asked to walk a mile in their shoes. Heroes walk on water, and geniuses are walking encyclopedias. But rarely do we humans think about walking. It has become, you might say, pedestrian. The fossils, however, reveal something else entirely. Walking is anything but ordinary. Instead it is a complex, convoluted evolutionary experiment that began with humble apes taking their first steps in Miocene forests and eventually set hominins on a path around the world.
