Without watching the video yet, I can tell you it's obviously because we're one of the most honest species of the planet

They run using 4 legs instead of 2.
And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you\'ll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

I don't run well anymore which is why I have a large wallet and usually keep my cell phone in my other hip pocket.
This fools other predators into thinking that I do run well still.. I evolved to keep too much crap in my wallet..
And just to give you all butt envy my butt looks like a couple of 2x4s someone threw spackling at. ..maybe slightly warm jelly..
All hail my new signature!

Admit it. You're secretly green with envy.

Butts are where early man, like the San people until recently, store water in a dry climate.  This is why men like big butts on women ... they car carry their own water supply better.  Large hips (incorrectly) indicate a large birth canal, hence likelihood to survive giving birth.  In San people, the women can detect water underground thru their superior sense of smell ... much more useful than detecting a hard pea under a lot of mattresses.  This enables them to detect water bearing roots like yams.  Men in the state of nature, are good runners, but this is incidental to the OP.  The San men simply run game to death.  This is easily done by modern man with cotton-tail rabbits ... their hearts give out before you do.  No other species is capable of running an ultra marathon, humans can take out gazelle without all the cat claws and jaws.  San men would hunt with bow and arrows, this is to make the animal run out of steam sooner thru blood loss, so it is less work bringing it back to camp.  The actual arrow wound usually wasn't fatal.

According to Sir Mixalot in the song Baby Got Back, he likes big butts and he cannot lie, hence the humorous association with big butts to honesty.

They also have tails.

I don't have a big butt, yet I run. And bicycle. Am I not human?  :huh:
