"While we've always assumed that humans' ancient ancestors must have been more active than today's modern Westerners -- with our office jobs, our cars and our TV sets to keep us sedentary -- new measurements of actual energy expenditure are surprising. They show that people in traditional foraging societies do indeed participate in more physical activity, but that their total energy output is almost identical to that of today's pudgy Westerners."
