Where humans born to run?
It`s discussed among scientists for years. Some suggest that humans started to jog around two million years ago, according to fossil evidence of some distinctive features of the modern human body.
A new study in 2004, reported by National Geographic (www.nationalgeographic.com), suggests humans may have left their tree-swinging ancestors behind because they developed into endurance runners. This ability, the researchers say, may explain why humans look the way they do today.
Will the recent discovered footprints bring new light to the mystery about human evolution?
