A big item here is our huge butts. Humans have a ridiculously huge butts for our size which is actually a major advantage. Our butts are gigantic muscles that allow for distance running unlike any other creature, literally no other animal can run for distance like a human can.

Having these rockin’ cans means we get dirty butts that need to be cleaned after poopin’. Unlike other animals we prefer not to lick our butts clean, but we still prefer clean butts over the alternative, hence wiping.

But for real, if you look at other animals you’ll notice as a general concept that they can poop without get their skin nearly as dirty as humans can. We evolved to poop in a sort of a crutching position which naturally spreads ’em and helps with cleaning but as a society we generally use sitting positions which means dirty cheeks that need to be wiped.
