Yeah, this is my butt. Don't stare at it. |
This is a story about your butt (gluteus maximus). It’s a story about how you got your butt, why you have your butt, and how your butt might be one of the most important and essential things for you being you -- and for all of us being human.
Reporters Heather Radke and Matt Kielty talk to two university research scientists who followed the butt from humanity's ancient beginnings, through millions of years of presumed evolution, all the way to today, out to a valley in Arizona, where our butts are put to the ultimate test.
This may be the cause of Darwin's evolution. |
