Why can humans throw so well?
Why can humans throw so well? We have shown that humans produce high-speed throws by storing elastic energy in the tendons, ligaments, and muscles crossing the shoulder. When this energy is released, it powers the rapid acceleration of the arm and the projectile, including the fastest motion the human body produces.
