Er, but surely gorillas have arses like barn doors, and they're pretty hopeless at running aren't they

Gorrilla arse:


Human arse:


Take it up with Alice Roberts if you don't believe me.

Don't need glutes for walking, but a trot needs a big human arse. At least compared to puny-arsed apes.

That's strange - In my experience most people with big arses just waddle along not very fast at all, and they're puffed out after running a few feet

Talking about science programmes, this series (of 3) looks to be a cracker. Defo watch on Utube if you're into Homo sapiens.

Man the runner, sweater and tool maker.

We've got big arses for running (can't run far or fast without a big arse), big thumbs for tool use and sweat enough to run down any animal on the planet, on an African savannah at high noon when other animals would much prefer to be kipping.

What a wonderful program, full of lots of interesting anatomical facts too.
