Why Did We Do That?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

2/4. From postwar trends in toddler transportation to French motorised settees, Chris Bowlby reveals why our modern love of sitting down has unexpected historical roots. Sitting as status is explored as well as the powerful instincts that have shaped our sedentary life. There's far more to the sedentary society than endless car driving and computerised work.
