The two concepts can coexist. We are born to run, but we are also born to dream of figuring out how to make ourselves run better.



We've also been wearing shoes for at least 10,000 years, and have possibly evolved to a degree to wear them.

> It is thought that shoes may have been used long before this, but because the materials used were highly perishable, it is difficult to find evidence of the earliest footwear.[8] By studying the bones of the smaller toes (as opposed to the big toe), it was observed that their thickness decreased approximately 40,000 to 26,000 years ago. This led archaeologists to deduce that wearing shoes resulted in less bone growth, resulting in shorter, thinner toes.[9]
