This leads to the notion that running barefoot is in our DNA and, therefore, more natural and better for us.
In the book, McDougall referenced a 2004 study by Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman, Ph.D., titled “Endurance Running and the Evolution of Homo.” In the study, Lieberman argued that human beings are evolutionarily built to run long distances and have been doing so for nearly 2 million years-long before running shoes were invented. Steve Jobs once said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backward.” So, in 2009 when Christopher McDougall published his New York Times best-selling book, Born to Run, in which he told the story of an ancient running tribe called the Tarahumara and suggested that running shoes were the root cause of many running-related injuries, it was impossible to foresee the ripple effect he would have on redefining modern footwear.
