A cervical and lumbar curvatures are formed and the other two, sacral and thoracic, occur just as a continuation of the curvature that existed before. The cervical curvature exists so that our heads can be upright as opposed to pointing to the floor. The lumbar curvature occurs so that we can stand upright and walk on two legs.
