View submission: Where did paleolithic humans sit/sleep?
Well, spot on! I just made a quick google search out of curiosity, and I found a different interview he gave with a writer he recently wrote a couple books with. He says the following:
...says his companion (Arsuaga), who finds the basis for another of his digressions in the "unnatural" fact of sitting on a chair."Sitting is very modern. The natural thing to do is to squatting", a fact that, they stress, even conditions the development of our digestive system. "Do you know that in India they don't have diverticula or haemorrhoids? They don't have pelvic floor problems. That's a result of pooping in the toilet," they argue, complementing each other. According to the palaeontologist, "human beings are not made to sit on a chair, it's just that we decide it's practical. We can make a book about sitting here," he argues as he stands up to demonstrate what the ideal posture would look like physiologically. "There is a lot to be said about chairs".
There's nothing here!
