In a recent study, researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests that ultra-marathon running may be an evolutionarily beneficial trait. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Copenhagen and published in the journal Nature Communications, used computer simulations to explore the potential evolutionary benefits of ultra-marathon running. Their findings suggest that humans who are capable of running long distances may have an evolutionary advantage over those who are not. This advantage is due to the physical and mental endurance required for such activities, which would have allowed our ancestors to outrun predators, hunt for food over large distances, and to migrate to new habitats.
