DrPhleecingD Sep 2021 1:52pm, 16 Sep 2021 53,163 posts	0 DrPhleecingD Ok another take on why people don’t exercise, by an anthropologist. I heard him on a podcast but here’s an article news.harvard.edu
HappyG(rrr) Sep 2021 1:58pm, 16 Sep 2021 39,715 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Good article and book, I'm sure, but I hate the the headlines - "... it's not natural to exercise" or "we didn't evolve to exercise..." then gets taken out of context. He's not saying it isn't natural to be active but the artificial construct of exercising "for fun" or exerting yourself for a reason other than running away from a saber toothed tiger or to catch a woolly-mammoth isn't supported by evolution. Of course it isn't. Nothing about our civilisation in the last 10,000 years is "natural" or evolved. You can't evolve in 10,000 years anyway, it's too short a time. Anyway, sorry, that's not why you posted it, but it just gets me every time when the headlines don't represent the article or the body of the work. Hmm, and, breathe! G

DrPhleecingD Sep 2021 2:12pm, 16 Sep 2021 53,164 posts	0 DrPhleecingD Actually in the podcast I listened to there was a really interesting bit about how we literally did evolve to run, with a special muscle in our neck designed to stop our heads from flopping about too much during running. So yes, wildly inaccurate subtitle
