Running is the most natural thing we do. We were successful as a species because of our endurance hunting. Lots of things could outspeed us, but nothing could outlast us.

Didn't read the article yet, but I would place more emphasis on our ability to communicate lending to our ability to "outlast" over running.

But side note - running is overwhelming stressful on the body and the caloric expedited from it is inefficient compared to many other activities suck as jumping rope (about 6x more efficient), cycling with resistance, HIIT weight training, swimming, or even sex.

Running, over long periods of time (and even shorter periods for heavier people), causes great stress on the knees, ankles, heels, and spine. Some of the damage long distance runners do to their knees over a life time leave them in wheelchairs later in life from such extensive knee damage. Running is brutal and when it comes to time spent va calories burned, all the aforementioned forms of cardio blow it out of the water and are far less impactful on the joints.
