Episode #7 of the Runblogger Podcast is an audio recording of a lecture I gave to my Exercise Physiology class on the evolution of distance running in humans. In this lecture I outline the hypothesis recently put forth by researchers Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman that humans beings have evolved anatomical and physiological characteristics that make us outstanding at running slowly for long distances in the heat of day, and that these traits like evolved in association with increasing incorporation of meat in the diet of early human ancestors (i.e., for hunting and scavenging).
