[quote=Anonymous]I really wouldn't put it like that. I'm a research scientist in biology. Plenty of people need exercise to reduce aggressive impulses. When you consider that humans started as hunter-gatherers, perpetually on the move, then turned into laborers to develop agricultural societies... our very recent and very rapid change into desk jockeys has not been accompanied by as radical a change in physique or brain development. The societal change occured too fast for evolution to change our bodies and minds. So plenty of humans are still built for physical exertion, and do poorly if that outlet is denied. The needs of modern society for higher-level organization and planning are creating evolutionary pressure to elevate certain humans who do well with sedentary lifestyles, and who are less reactive and more cerebral than their ancestors. But that process is an extremely slow one. There is a wide, wide range of normal in the exercise needs of modern humans. [/quote]
