”Why is homo sapiens sapiens a slow runner?”


is one of the thoughts that from time to time pops up in Atle’s head while running before the heat switches off his ability of thinking.

Because she is created like that,  someone says, looking up as if the answer is written in heaven.

Atle looks down. At his feet, Not very elegant. That is true. Apelike. Not long ago Atle’s ancestors moved down from the trees. No need for running in the fields when you could escape up in a tree?

All animals which are runners, run on their TOES – horses, dogs, cats…

Atle and the other individuals of the species homo sapiens sapiens do not. How long will it take for our offspring’s offspring’s offspring’s offspring to be able runners? One or ten millions years?
