WE ARE ALL DESIGNISTS NOW:

Intelligent humans evolved because of big-hipped ancestors (Nick Allen, 13 Nov 2008, Daily Telegraph)

The hips of females from the species Homo erectus, a primitive relative of modern humans, have been found to be wider than was previously thought.

That means they were well equipped for delivering babies with a larger cranial capacity which ultimately allowed intelligent human beings to evolve. [...]

The need to give birth to large brained infants was probably the primary driver behind the shape of the pelvis.

We evolved bigger brains because our mothers had evolved wide hips so they could give birth to babies with bigger brains. It gets harder and harder to believe that these guys aren't in on the joke.
