Naruhodo #478 - Por que mexemos os braços ao andar?

Tem coisas que a gente faz todos os dias e nem percebe. Balançar os braços quando caminhamos, por exemplo. Afinal, por que fazemos isso? A ciência pode explicar?

Confira o papo entre o leigo curioso, Ken Fujioka, e o cientista PhD, Altay de Souza.
