Does it exist a single long period during human evolution when people stand in place for 40 hours a week
What about period when people sat 40 hours a week at the desk? It didn't happen either.
- ubojan 15y agoAs far as I know, before agricultural and industrial revolution, people in hunter gatherer societies spend a majority of their time resting. They spent maybe 4-5 hours a day on hunting, gathering and other stuff. The rest of the day is spent with family and napping/lying/resting. To answer your question I think that sitting 8 hours every day is not very healthy, but it's far better than standing 8 hours. Break long period of sitting with some walking, stretching or some light exercise, and you would eliminate almost all negative effects of prolonged sitting.
