Q:
If the earth’s gravitional pull were to increase...what do you think would happen...would our thighs get bigger or would we hunch over?

A:
As a believer in adaptive evolution I have a hunch that both would happen.  On the other hand a sudden increase in the earth’s gravitational pull would boggle my mind, as well as my thighs.
I am confident it won’t happen
