If you've ever wondered why you have an anus...

I found an article on why we have glutes titled 'Ask evolution: Why do we have butt cheeks?' In the article, the writer explains that, from an evolutionary anthropological perspective, we have glutes in order to have physical stability as we walk uprightly. As to why human beings have thicker bums than other apes, one theory is that the fat was there for our hunter-gatherer ancestors for a survival reason: to not die during food shortages. This makes me wonder why many of us find wide hips and thick glutes physically attractive.
