No butts about it

Beyond being hypnotizing, what good are butts?

There is no denying the aesthetic qualities of the butt (with entire NSFW Tumblr blogs devoted to nothing but), but starting from the toes and working his way up to, and beyond, the butt, Dr Daniel Lieberman, a professor of human evolutionary biology speaking with the Smithsonian Channel, explains how different parts of the body affect homo sapiens’ running capability.

“Another feature, which everyone seems to like,” Lieberman says, “and why not, is the gluteous maximus.” The largest muscle in the human body . . . the butt.

The bad news is I’ve got long toes and terrible arches . . . but my butt is something you can really get behind!
