Is it a natural instinct to sit on ur but or are u taught to do that?

Question

can u teach ur kids to not sit on there but and like make them sit some other way

Answer 1

yes, it's natural. our ancestors did it, our parents did it, we do it our selves.  

but, in japan, they sit on a pillow, shins on the pillow, legs together, they call it 'sezia' . but, it'll hurt if u r not used 2 it.

Answer 2

there is no other way... it's the most comfortable position lol

Answer 3

where the h**l else are you gonna sit on? your face?!

Answer 4

It's not so much instinct as it is our physical design. It's easiest to eat while our body is in an upright position (try eating while lying on your back) and it's also the easiest way to keep our body in an upright position while exerting little energy, as well as the most comfortable (our rear ends provide some cushion).

Answer 5

that's an interesting question because I see people from other societies squatting a lot.  We don't squat lot in our society, but people in other societies do.  I don't know how often they sit though.
