Humans have back problems because we took a spine that had evolved for billions of years to be horizontal and stacked it up like a bunch of dinner plates.

Don't discount the power of sitting too much with bad posture. The spine can stay totally fine up to a significant age ... if you're not sitting like you're cosplaying as the Hunchback of Notre-Dame and get up and move once in a while.

Thank you for the reminder.
