Within a standard deviation (just) of the hunter gatherers, but not for Western males.
PAL is 2.26 +- 0.48 for Hadza male and 1.81 +- 0.21 for Western Male. That's an average 25% difference in activity. I'm not a biologist but it seems like that could surely be significant.
Especially if the protein being talked about is generated by strenuous activity above some level. 25% total difference in activity could be a very large difference in activity above a threshold, since both groups are going to spend a lot of the day sitting around, sleeping or walking slowly.
