  • Christopher McDougall explores the mysteries of the human desire to run. How did running help early humans survive -- and what urges from our ancient ancestors spur us on today? McDougall tells the story of the marathoner with a heart of gold, the unlikely ultra-runner, and the hidden tribe in Mexico that runs to live. (Filmed at TEDxPennQuarter.)
    Talk by Christopher McDougall.

    We had to make a presentation-analysis, and I thought about using this one. I discussed persistence hunting(aka running animals to death) with an equestrian.
    The choice of prey Mr.McDougall talked about(horses), are actually one of the few mammals beside humans that has an effective thermoregulation. That means running a horse to death would be incredibly hard.
    It´s not that tribes hasn't used this method to kill animals, reports has shown everything from antelopes to cheetahs, its just that the example he picked is erroneous.
    I loved the book, and I use fivefingers while long distance running, but one factual error worries me there could be more.

    In south we're told to go out on asphalt, to make your souls stronger, we like burn feet during the summer time. That's what taught grandfather my mom, mom taught that to me.

    So the entire point of this talk was stop wearing shoes? As much as I'd love to I live in the middle of a city and I don't trust that I won't find a piece of glass in my foot. (I don't live in a terrible area, but it could happen..)

    Excellent talk man, you are a very compelling host. But this is the internet so I gotta bitch a bit, you fail to mention that in the westerm world pretty much all surfaces you will be running on are paved, sending shocks into your joints every time you land a step. I think running is great, but the way most people do it is wrecking their knees. I rather take a bike, also a good workout a human can keep up for a very long time, and you're not putting as much stress on your ankles, knees, hips etc.

      The more you go barefoot, the more the bottom of your foot naturally hardens. They aren't usually soft in nature.

    I like being barefoot because it makes me feel like a hobbit. Now I have a reason.

    The main problem is the theory of evolution. We did not evolve over millions of years.
    Clean diet and exercise and a clean environment is the key. Modern society has the opposite. Animal based diet, no exercise and pollution.
    How about we go back to the original diet, vegan or vegetarian, exercise and clean up the population and you will see humanity get healthier.
    Why does science deny God's existence and teachings and make excuses for its own failure of why we are how we are?

    Mistery 1 solved. We were created by God 6000 years ago with the earth, not 2 millions. We did not evolve, we were created.
