Sounds interesting and potentially fun. And it might provide more motivation for exercise. Startup idea...

Not silly at all. You could even relate the suicide of lower status males to this kind of mechanic. Or the grandmother hypothesis about why women have a menopause.
Those seem to contradict. Lower status males would be striving for a chance reproduce, or having reproduced would need to work to elevate their offspring's status.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10838463 I'll take my billion dollars in twenties please. Anabolism and catabolism are constant and simultaneous processes, even on a cellular level.
Where does it say anything about people growing muscle when catabolic or losing fat when anabolic? Just because the processes don't happen simltaniously, doesn't mean you can't gain more muscle than fat (or gain more fat than muscle) or lose more muscle than fate (or lose more fat then muscle), I never said the two were done at the same rate, just the body will gain simultaneously or lose simultaneously...but the bod…
But that study does implicitly contradict even the latter. The subjects were fed hypocalorically and had a net negative change in weight, yet gained lean body mass, implying at least some of the lean mass gain was fueled by metabolizing stored fatty tissue.

#96Is there a scientific way to distinguish evolutionary biology from bourgeois ideology?

#98If you're like me an dread the monotony of working out give climbing a try! Every climb is different which keeps the workout fresh and exciting and it works out every core muscle group.

I'm not sure about what you mean but a lot of completely made up "popular science" seems to be easily sold as evolutionary science. "Some people have longer ears than others. Maybe they were better able to hear predators and avoid them and therefore theirs genes spread further..."

#100I'd love to know if there's an above average tendency for those interested or working in the technology field also have a history with endurance related sports. I know a lot of really talented developers that are into biking/hiking/running.
