Paleolithic humans

One of the greatest struggles that specialists have in physical training of the human being has to do with the elements of the current routine that take us away from an organic condition like we should have. It is clear that aspects such as family care or employment can not be left aside, but a group of scientists has wondered how trained we were 200,000 years ago, in the Paleolithic.

Well, it is evident that the appearance of gyms was not necessary at that time, and that only responds to the requirements of people who can not perform physical exercises elsewhere or at another time of day. It is worth asking then, if we truly would be as trained outside a world as the current one, or if it is just a myth to make us feel bad.

In this sense, researchers from the Catholic University of Brasilia, the Basque Country and A Coruña, have conducted a series of information searches that have allowed them to establish, in the first place, that "the environment and conditions for survival, so there is a big mismatch between our genetic load, which is adapted to different demands than we have. "

Specifically, these specialists argue that organic changes in man are much slower than those in societies, and for this reason, our body is currently suffering. Even Paleolithic men were at a higher altitude, which is why they had a better performance in endurance sports and could fight hand to hand with fearsome animals, something that seems impossible today.

Even in the past humans had a much greater resistance to the lack of food, which was caused because many of them were nomads by then, and had to spend long periods of time scouring their world in search of food.
