Abstract in brief

  • Humans are naturally good at endurance running compared to other animals, although they are not great at short-distance sprints, which are less important in human evolution.
  • Various physical and biological features, some visible in fossils, contribute to our ability to run long distances; these adaptations likely appeared around 2 million years ago with the genus Homo.
  • Endurance running may have played a significant role in human evolution, influencing the development of our body structure and behaviors over time.

Looking forward to Prof. Daniel Lieberman's presentation at #SSCRun2019 conference in November. His 2004 paper with Bramble on 'Endurance running and the evolution of Homo' is one I regularly refer back to https://t.co/3RbPGHBsVY https://t.co/I3NVLAgfHu
