Even today, we expend about 1,400 calories daily just to stay alive, leading us to instinctively avoid unnecessary physical activity despite readily available energy sources. This perspective, distinguishing between athletic performance and true health, is explored by Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard professor of Human Evolutionary Biology.
