So a widely accepted biological theory is that the evolution of bipedal locomotion in humans liberated our forelimbs which allowed us to use tools. The use of tools is what then allowed our brains to grow much larger and develop higher thought. If freedom of hands and arms allowed us to evolve to where we are, how will the rising rates of snuggie use then affect the future of human evolution?
