According to Harvard research scientist Dr. Daniel Lieberman, et al, we are born to run. He’s right. Somewhere in our long line of ancestors there was most likely a carnivorous humanoid hunter/gatherer type who got his dinner by persistence hunting, which to this day is still done by certain Kalahari tribesmen. If you wanted to eat, that’s how it was done. My ancestors must have been reasonably successful because I’m sitting here at my computer today as an indirect result of someone three million years ago who was a runner.
