Why Did Ancient Humans Squat to Rest?

Modern humans sit in chairs. Ancient humans squatted. And the difference between those two positions might explain more about your body's chronic pain, poor posture, and tight hips than anything your doctor has ever told you. In this video, we go deep into why ancient humans naturally rested in a deep squat position, what that posture did for their bodies, and why modern sitting culture has essentially broken the human body from the ground up. From skeletal evidence to modern hunter-gatherer research, the science behind the ancient resting squat is genuinely surprising — and slightly uncomfortable for anyone currently sitting in a chair.
