Evolutionary Complexity and Complications, With Age Related Changes in Human Vertebral Column

Abstract

Evolution does explain the erect human spine. One of the riddles of mammal evolution explained: the strong conservation of the number of trunk vertebrae. The adaptive morphological evolution for improved performance in a specific function, as well as phenotypic responses to changing performance regimes due to varying selective pressures. Several disciplines are required to provide relevant information on the big picture behind structural diversity and evolutionary patterns underlying it. To support the increased weight on each vertebra in the upright position, the human vertebral column became S-shaped and the lumbar vertebrae became shorter and wider. The lumbar and pelvic regions of the spine suffer from the pressure exerted on it by our upright posture. A lifetime of stress leads to numerous back problems, such as hernia of the vertebrae, scoliosis, lower back pain and other back disorders. Our analysis suggests that by age related complications in upright posture and common remedies. The objective of our study was to investigate involving evolutionary changes causes, common complication in people with diagnostic technique and tips for how to avoid the problems.
