In this episode of BoneTalk, host Barbara Hannah Grufferman is joined by
Dr. Daniel Lieberman, author of “Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved
to Do is Healthy and Rewarding.” Dr. Lieberman, professor of human
evolutionary biology at Harvard University and a pioneering researcher on
the evolution of human physical activity, tells the story of how humans
never evolved to exercise – to do voluntary physical activity just for the
sake of better health. Yet due to modern innovations and lifestyle changes,
we must now choose to exert energy for the sake of our health.
