And so this is something that plays to human beings' early strengths, which is just walking.

We're good at, like I have a dog, like you can't, maybe not be able to outrun the dog in bursts of speed, but you can probably outwalk the dog.

At a certain point, the dog is just gonna be like, I can't take this anymore, please stop.

Yeah, we're great.

Like we just walk, right?

Just walk and die.

So it plays to those strengths.

Um, and so I do it sort of for that early unit to kind of, uh, illustrate that, you know, that this is how human beings sort of one of the early survival tools for human beings.

But I also do it to sort of link it towards the end of the class when I start talking about Mesoamerican civilizations.

Yeah.

So I, so what happens is I go out.

I do it usually in my Aztec class.

I do it in my interarcheology class.

I actually even do it occasionally in my Maya class, occasionally.
