delinquent noun [C]. âº a âperson, usually âyoung, who âbehaves in a way that is âillegal or not âacceptable to most âpeople: âjuvenile delinquents.
Probably the major advantage of walking upright was that it freed the hands to use tools and carry (the pray). Another advantage is seeing further than on four legs, without the need to stop walking and raising oneself for a little while to look around ( like some animals do). Comments. Report.
Walking upright has taken its toll on the human frame. Back, hip, knee or leg problems are a common complaint especially amongst walkers. If you recognise this description the answer may well be a pair of trekking poles.
