It says "There's a perception that we sit way more than any other culture out there", and then they say no, the Hadza sit a lot (" 'The Hadza are in resting postures about as much as we Americans are' "), but if you search for photos of the Hadza sitting, they are always sitting on the floor/ground, or crouching, not sitting in a chair. That's not the same thing at all!
Then there's a photo of the Indian weaver they mention with the caption "No special chair required" (compared with the kneeling chair the author had bought, I guess). But the weaver is sitting on a low, (backless) bench! I've never seen an office/computer worker sitting like that.
So it's all about how you sit, but never that sitting in chairs might be (part of) the problem?

- misja111 8y agoThere are a lot of pianists with back problems.
