The human body is designed for a wide variety of exercises at the basic level. We have a large number of joints, and many of them move through a large range of motion. We, as in other physiological qualities, are biomechanic generalists.

He would sit cross-legged to light a fire to keep warm. In order to have something to cook over that fire he would have to crouch low and sneak up on unsuspecting prey, throw his spear, and then probably chase after it over roots, trees, hills, and dales. Spears aren’t exactly “one shot kill”-type weapons, you know. Then he’d have to pick up is quarry and hump it back to his waiting fire before something bigger and meaner showed up and he REALLY had to run.
