My friend is in the market for ergonomic chairs - the sort that are supposed to help your posture. It got me thinking about sitting in general - and about a conversation about it that I had with my Dad a while ago. Is sitting natural !?! I know we have evolved to stand, and obviously lying down's pretty natural, but sitting seems to be something we started doing once we got sophisticated and civilised and whatnot. It seems to me - and I have reached the stage now where I am pulling things out of my arse - that if we are to try and relieve seating related back problems, we have to start finding ways to make lying down and working feasible.

I'm sure people sat on the ground before to create tools out of bone and paint on cave walls. If we can do it with relative ease, why wouldn't it be natural?
