- Abstract: It behooves us to understand the power of gravity or its diminished or negative effect as we, Homo sapiens, evolve from going around from four limbs to bipedalism or working mostly erect or sitting on our buttocks.

Hemorrhoids, chronic back pain, varicous veins, etc are other morbid consequences of bipedalism.
