Human beings didn’t evolve to spend 100% of their time staring into a webcam, only interacting over Zoom. Remote is great and should be part of the solution, but sometimes, you just can’t beat face-to-face.

Human beings didn't evolve to sit in a chair at a desk for 6+ hours daily. What's your point?
Well we did evolve big buttocks (bigger than other primates) that are apparently useful for sitting for extended periods of time.
I'm not sure what you mean. In people who sit for long periods of time the gluteus mucles (buttocks) become atrophied. Do you mean the ass fat is useful for sitting?

Maybe you're just making a joke and I'm not getting it.

It's likely more to support walking (and running) on two legs for extended periods of time.
When we work we dont spend all our time in zoom meetings. Do you?
Guess what, human as like any other organism can adapt to their changing environment. Basic evolution biology.
