What makes them so important is that they date from the time when modern humans first came to Europe from Africa.

Bodybuilders–and professional athletes–who try to manipulate those hormones through exercise routines are wasting their time. Researcher Daniel West says, "A popular mindset for weightlifters is that increased levels of hormones after exercise play a key role in building muscle. That is simply not the case.
