Wow, According To Researchers, We Owe Our Ability To Endure Long Distance Running To A Broken Version Of The Gene Called CMP-Neu5Ac Hydroxylase (CMAH). This Was Based On Tests Carried Out On Mice. MIce Injected With The Human Version Of The Broken Gene Were Seen To Run 12% Faster And 20% Longer Than Other Mice.

The CMAH gene, also found in chimps, is actually broken in humans. From an evolutionary viewpoint, the ability of humans to maintain long-distance running is what helped us catch our prey thousands …
