This should stimulate some lively discussion, not to mention photos.

No doubt, Since the early Africans had to be swift, and fast to escape the lions chasing them down and eating them. I believe it's called self preservation.

This study must have focused on the French. Did the scientists also conclude we were born to drop our weapons?

well...when you consider where we were on the food chain back then

I disagree. Maybe men were built to run but not women and certainly not mothers. Human babies do not cling to mothers but need to be supported with two hands. And human women are the only animals to have swollen breasts year round even when not lactating.

I can't believe that I haven't seen any jokes on this thread about this being the reason they call it the HUMAN RACE.

Born to run?

Born to drive... now that I believe!

I don't know...if we were made for running we would have four legs, don't know of any human who can outrun a horse, cheetah, dog, cat...you get the idea.

I know I'm way behind on this thread and I'm sure some have said this, but I agree with aspects of this theory. We evolved in trees, but then the forest changed to open grasslands. So we had to change too. In the open, we needed to be able to spot predators, travel long distances looking for food, have less surface area exposed to the sun in the middle of the day, be able to cover short distances quickly. All of this lead to the transition towards the upright motion we have today. Running is part of it, but not nearly all of it.
