"Humans are unique among the primates in how walking fully upright is our chief mode of locomotion. This frees our hands up for using tools. Unfortunately, the changes made in our pelvis for moving on two legs, in combination with babies with large brains, makes human childbirth unusually dangerous compared with the rest of the animal kingdom.

A 90 degree turn and a 90 degree rotation and a good squeeze to the lungs to clean out that nasty amniotic fluid, if you are head-first like you should be.

Mothers should deliver by squatting but no one does anymore. And as I noted in my book, how did the enlarging head get matched by an enlarging pelvic opening: two different individuals with differing DNA's? ID anyone?
