"According to new research, our bodies are highly evolved for running long distances, 
an ability that allowed our ancestors to conquer the African savannahs.
Proponents of the theory say that long-distance running may be an even more significant
evolutionary adaptation than bipedal walking, an ability which may have emerged with the
appearance of the first hominids some 6 million years ago."
