evolution
Insects are the most common type of life on this planet and evolve in a very specific way. Their outer exoskeleton’s size is determined by the force of gravity placed on it. Gravity is strong and they remain on average very tiny. They remain many times smaller than us within this same relative force of gravity. This is interesting because when we look at gravity’s effects reduced by waters bouyancy, we find extremely large creatures like the Blue Whale, some of which have been known to grow over 100 feet long. As a person undergoes Structural Integration the affect of gravitys pull on the entire person is lessened as body segments become balanced over one another, thus decreasing the bodies moment of inertia. As gravitys force is reduced, expansion occurs (as evidenced with before and after pictures). This is one explanation why those who finish the 10 series feel, look, and are measurably taller. The body is allowed to lengthened in respect to gravitys pull. As the random body of grandma losses its balance and succumbs to gravity we see the humpback formation as the body disintegrates and gravity overcomes the tensile strength of the soft tissue, thus pulling the erect woman over. If we were all to integrate and balance our bodies in gravity would we see an evolution of taller and taller Homo sapiens? Viewing pictures of Australopithicus afarensis, aka Lucy, we see that although she was a 4 million year old hominid (more ape-like than human-like) her pelvis functioned like ours and she was bi-pedal. Did the ability to stand upright expedite our evolution? This opens up a treasure chest of ideas along the lines of what happens to us as we further this evolutionary quality and stand even more upright. An idea to grow on.
