View submission: Where did paleolithic humans sit/sleep?
I once heard Spanish paleoanthropologist Juan Luis Arsuaga jokingly say (I think on an interview) that if he could 'un-invent' two human inventions he would choose refined sugar and the chair, because of how harmful they both are for the human body. He said that when we squat our body is still active, and even when sitting down on (and getting up from) the ground we still exercise some strenght and flexibility that are lacking when we sit on chairs.

Hmmm I wonder what his remarks on haemorrhoid would be.
