Right so it would seem increased physical exertion would be the answer.

Yeah, humans should have more free time and do enough work or exercise each day to keep their body in shape.

One might think that weight loss is simply an energy balance issue. Sadly, it's far more complicated than that. You can burn 500-800 calories in an hour of cardio, and you can consume 500-800 calories of food in a few minutes.
If you are eating 2700kcal a day which is what an average male probably eats in West

Why would you eat 2700+800 = 3500kcal? when you can do with 2700kcal?
