If this were to be put to the test, wouldn't it be safer to assume that in order for a human to survive such conditions, the gravity would slowly have to be increased over a very long period of time? Like 1.1x earth's gravity for a few years, then 1.2x for a few years, so and so forth.... I think given circumstances like that, it may work out a bit better. However.... with the way I see it, instead of over a few years, this would have to be done over several lifetimes, with new generations being born in these areas of higher gravitational force. Would take hundreds, maybe thousands of years I believe.
That is, given we actually bother with the "evolution" route, instead of the "using technology to find a workaround" route.
