TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a media organization which posts talks online for free distribution, under the slogan “ideas worth spreading”. TED was founded in February 1984 as a conference, which has been held annually since 1990. TED’s early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its Silicon Valley origins, but it has since broadened its focus to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics.
In the video below, Christopher McDougall explores the mysteries of the human desire to run. How did running help early humans survive — and what urges from our ancient ancestors spur us on today? McDougall tells the story of the marathoner with a heart of gold, the unlikely ultra-runner, and the hidden tribe in Mexico that runs to live.
What is your opinion? Are we born to run?

W powyższym materiale video, Christopher McDougall zgłębia tajemnice ludzkiego pragnienia by biegać. Jak bieganie pomogło przetrwać ludziom i jakie pragnienia naszych przodków zachęcają nas do tego dzisiaj? Na TEDxPennQuarter McDougall opowiada historię maratończyka ze złotym sercem, niespodziewanego ultra-biegacza oraz nieznanego plemienia w Meksyku, które biega by żyć.
Jakie jest wasze zdanie? Jesteśmy stworzeni do biegania?
We are born to run, jump, swim, play and explore the neer endless opportunities afforded to us by our bodies. We are not meant to be sedentary creatures. 😎
