- So because the city of Eldoret's the fifth largest city in Kenya, it's a very big, modern sort of urban sort of African city. And then just a few miles out of the city is a very rural area where there's no roads, there's no electricity, there's no running water. People are subsistence farmers, but from the same group, the Kalenjin-speaking population. And so we have a kind of a natural experiment. We can study how people's bodies change when they go from the countryside to the city. And so one of the things we were really interested in is carrying, because people, until recently, carried things a lot. I mean, everything you wanted to have, you had to carry.
埃爾多雷特市是肯亞第五大城市，是一座非常大的現代化非洲城市。而在離城市幾英里遠的地方，則是一個沒有公路、沒有電、沒有自來水的農村地區。人們都是自給自足的農民，但都來自同一個群體，即講卡倫金語的群體。是以，我們有了一種自然實驗。我們可以研究人們從農村到城市後身體會發生怎樣的變化。是以，我們真正感興趣的事情之一是攜帶，因為直到最近，人們還經常攜帶東西。我的意思是，你想擁有的一切，你都必須攜帶。
- I could go on. The topic of exercise is just laden with myths. A common view about our evolutionary origins and about the evolution of physical activity is that we evolved from these super athlete ancestors and that civilization has contaminated us. So if you wear shoes or you drink Gatorade or you have a fancy watch or something like that, somehow that deprives you of the natural talent that you have. And if only you had been born in some little village somewhere and didn't have TV and didn't have access to all these commercial goods, that you'd be a natural, incredible athlete and that you could just get out of bed and run an ultra-marathon or something like that. A lot of these myths, to be honest, stem from, I think, this idea of this Rousseauian idea of the myth of the noble savage, that humans uncontaminated by civilization are also sort of naturally good and fine. And they also come from terrible, horrible, racist stereotypes about, for example, Africans not experiencing pain as much and Asians having some kind of natural sort of proclivity to sneak around in the dark. We all know these stereotypes and they're pernicious and they're wrong, but they've been applied in various ways to hunter-gatherers and to subsistence farmers in various parts of the world to make us feel that somehow they're these kind of basically fundamental super-athletes.
我可以繼續說下去。運動這個話題充滿了神話。關於我們的進化起源和體育鍛煉的進化，一種常見的觀點是，我們是從這些超級運動員的祖先進化而來的，而文明已經汙染了我們。是以，如果你穿鞋、喝佳得樂、戴高級手錶或諸如此類的東西，某種程度上就剝奪了你與生俱來的天賦。如果你出生在某個小村莊，沒有電視，接觸不到這些商品，你就會是一個天生的、不可思議的運動員，你就可以下床跑個超級馬拉松什麼的。老實說，這些神話很多都源於盧梭的 "高貴的野蠻人神話"，即沒有被文明汙染的人類也是天性善良的。它們還來自於可怕的、可怕的、種族主義的刻板
