@constillustrus I agree that his self-created "mystery" is b.s. but it appears scientifically proven that man was a hunter-gatherer for much longer than he was a farmer. Whether that means we all should be runners.. I doubt it. The tribes that still run a lot and that do it well are thin by nature, they have a genetical advantage. If you don't have that, do another sport, because running is probably not going to do you much good.
@RienVesseur Of course we have much more time than the agrarian period on this earth.But I don't believe we were much of a hunter species...:)) that's my problem...
I kinda like running. I run 30 k's from time to time.It's a great experience
GabrielGaleano is absolutely correct. Humans were meant to sprint everywhere, that's why sprinters are sexier, they run to the top of trees to grab the fruit faster and chase bunnies better than the marathon runners. The marathon runners have to run really far to get to the food that's left and that's why they're so skinny.
@GabrielGaleano with all due respect, you are a stupid fuck. Humans were not born to sprint or move heavy objects. If we were sprinters we'd have no problem outrunning cheetahs or jackrabbits. And as for heavy lifting apes and other primitive animals put us to shame.
@summerland232 Good grief, you don't have to go overboard. Besides, I did a genetic test and fwiw one of the findings was that I have a sprinter's gene. I'm also good at long-distance running. Humans sprint AND run long distances today, so why couldn't humans have done both in the past, to varying degrees? Evidence of spears has been found going back 400,000 years and scientists believe spear hunting goes back 5+ million years and even chimps hunt with small spears today.
@fuzzwarmy You don't have to run as fast as a jackrabbit for it to be considered sprinting, and you don't always have to sprint or run long distances to hunt and fish. If humans and pre-humans could have both sprinted and run long distances and also used hunting and fishing spears and other tools it would have increased their survival advantages.
we walked all the time. thats all you can really do when ur alone in the desert ,just look at the tribes, u gotta always be huntin to survive or walkin or picking up wood and carying it ,water as well... yup.
@GabrielGaleano well we did cross long distances ,maybe we walked 40% of the time , jogged 40% of the time and sprinted 20% of the time , we did run with a regular speed i dont care if we chased zebras for 10 miles or followed wolf tracks ,or ran from another human tribe that was following us ,or whatever, as a human species we do very well with long distances and hes right, men sprint better because we're strong and can hunt bigger animals ,but women jog almost as good as men do, so ...
You have to admit a sprinter will definitely be healthier, stronger and more aesthetically pleasing to look at than a long-distance marathon runner!
Personally I love walking for hours every day, I am a powerlifter, I dabble in Olympic lifting too, I like rock climbing, and I sprint once in a while.
Back when I used to jog I had to eat crap in order to keep up my energy needs, and I was constantly wondering where my muscles were.
i just dont think that you should be makin that big of a deal between walking and sprinting ; and jogging, its just something in the middle ,not a big difference, it doesnt mean everyones good with 100 mile races or should be good with them.
@GabrielGaleano I run long distance all the time and i don't look like a concentration camp survivor. I look perfectly normal. i'm not going into great detail on this conversation because I don't argue on the internet all that often, but do know that some people just have a knack for long distance running and they have a way of dealing with the pain that comes with it in a way other people just can't do. I'd say it depends on the person. Debate with me all you want I honestly don't care.
It goes to show few people have an understanding of human nature, evolution, and physiology.
Let me keep this short: Humans are *not* born to run (by which I mean stuff like jogging, running marathons and long-distance running). Humans are hunter-gatherers in the wild, and we evolved well because of our ability to conserve energy. Long distance running isn't a good way to conserve energy.
So, in a nutshell, if this hasn't dawned on you==>
per Wikipedia: "The Paleolithic (or Palaeolithic) Age, Era or Period, is a prehistoric era distinguished by the development of the first stone tools,...It extends from the introduction of stone tools by hominids ..2.5 or 2.6 million years ago"
@ZarlanTheGreen I'm not sure the predecessor to the gazelle, or deer or whatever, especially the young ones would be that dangerous to a well coordinated attack by 3-4 guys
killing animals without any weapons? what about rocks? don't need to be able to craft a stone blade to conk a deer. or be able to run a hundred miles. a patient group with a pile of rocks could be very effective at scaring away other predators after they kill too
@yokemonkey I m not talking abt converted tribe nor does he ! just wait for them to come in contacts with missionaries and dis marathon will be a history !
I want this video on my L3100 unit.

<===, humans are born to walk, sprint and move heavy objects.
So which would you rather be? An Olympic sprinter or weightlifter? Or a marathon runner that looks like a concentration camp survivor?

Jogging and long distance running make no sense in our evolution.

@stsgabe Even the stone tipped spear is about 200000 years old. Before then, the weaponry we had, was clubs, stones, and sharpened sticks.
...
Any creature you'd get close enough to use them on, would be VERY dangerous to fight, with such weak weapons.

@stsgabe I said "Any creature you'd get close enough to use them on"
I.e. I wasn't talking about gazelles or deers, as you'd have no way of actually getting close to them.
They'd just run away ...and they are way faster than any human, that has every lived.
As Christopher McDougall has frequently said:
Usain Bolt (the fastest sprinter alive) would get his ass kicked by a squirrel.
...and deer and gazelle are way faster than a squirrel.

so we run an animal to death, and then dissect it with our fingernails I guess. fantastic book though
