Resumen de You are... An athlete
De Lange talks about human's athletic side. A couple of months ago, Daniel Lieberman set out on the race of a lifetime. A 25-mile slog in the Arizona heat, climbing a mountain more than 2000 meters tall. To top it all, 53 of his competitors had four legs. This was the 33rd annual Man Against Horse Race. Lieberman, by his own admission not a great runner, outran all but 13 horses--and so could they. Lieberman studies human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, and part of his work over the past 15 years has focused on a unique set of adaptations that suggest modern humans evolved not just to walk, but to run long distances.
