Why do humans tend to sit with one leg over the other rather then both legs down?

Question

I would of thought biology would like us to be symmetrical for maximum comfort. But after sitting down for some time humans tend to put one leg over the other? Is there a biological reason for this?

Answer 1

I’m not sure if there’s a biological reason for this.
I do know that crossing your legs at the knee while sitting is not the best if you have low back issues. You’re better off crossing your legs at the ankles.
