Steatopygia is an ancient Greek word meaning "fat rump", and refers to an inherited condition in which large amounts of fat accumulate on the buttocks.
The word is steadily gaining acceptance as a description of fat backsides in general, but in the scientific community it refers to a special and unusual condition in which large amounts of firm fatty tissue stands out, shelf-like, for several inches at the top of the buttocks (which are also enlarged overall).
The shelf-type steatopygia may have already been gone by then, replaced by our more rounded version of enlarged seat, which is still found in individuals and families of a wide range of ethnic groups.

 Sticking-out Buttocks - Paleolithic Age - Beaverland Historica - Wonders and Mysteries of the ancient World History
Steatopygia (“fat bottom”) was common among some African tribes—especially among women—such as Bushman, Hottentot and Andamanese, and still is among Onge (one of the Andamanese groups) today as shown in the picture at right.
Some scholars believe that a big bottom is a natural adaptation for survival, and that, in the ancient days, steatopygia was advantageous in the African tropical environment because the unpredictable rainfall and the narrow economic base remained a constant threat.
The condition has also been linked to reduced fertility so that its survival in the African context could be linked to the need for population control.

Baartman, who became known as the Hottentot Venus, was brought to Europe from Cape Town in 1810 by an English ship's surgeon who wished to publicly exhibit the woman's steatopygia, her enlarged buttocks.
Her physique, particularly her steatopygic appendage, became the object of popular fascination when Baartman was exhibited naked in a cage at Piccadilly, England.
