Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do is Healthy and Rewarding

Daniel E. Lieberman. First edition. New York: Pantheon Books, 2020. Both unclipped dust jacket and hardcover are in Very Good+ condition. There are markings and underlining on some of the pages, with most of the pages crisp and clean though, 440 pp. 

Lieberman woek is a groundbreaking exploration of the science and evolution of physical activity. Harvard evolutionary biologist Lieberman dismantles common myths about exercise—like the idea that humans are “born to run”—and reveals how our modern sedentary lifestyle clashes with our ancestral biology. Blending cutting-edge research, anthropology, and humor, Exercised explains why we resist exercise, how movement benefits our brains and bodies, and what types of activity truly promote health and longevity.

Perfect for readers interested in health, fitness, human evolution, and science-based lifestyle changes.
