In preparation of the Boston Marathon less than five days away, I found an informative and educational event on the sport of running at the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
Tonight at 6 o'clock, Daniel E. Liberman will discuss, "Why Humans Run: the Biology and Evolution of Marathon Running." The professor of Anthropolgy at Harvard will discuss the human ability to run and the remarkable endurance that it takes to run a marathon.
It would be interesting to ask Professor Lieberman what it takes to be a marathon runner. Is it hereditary? Is anyone able to do it with the right amount of training? And is one person born with more of a tendency to run than the next? Tickets are FREE and open to everyone.
