There are many misconceptions about exercise. The worst myth is that it's normal to be less active the older we get. But modern hunter-gatherers remain physically active with age.

Jonathan talks with Prof Daniel Lieberman to find out the benefits of building muscle as we age.

Daniel Lieberman is Professor of Biological Sciences and a professor of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. He loves teaching and has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers, many in journals such as Nature, Science, and PNAS, as well as three popular books, The Evolution of the Human Head (2011), The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health and Disease (2013), and Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do is Healthy and Rewarding (2020).
