Not true You're body temperature rises when you run (which is why you sweat) which increases your calorie burn. More calories are burnt by body heat rather than the running itself.

BUT i said jogging NOT running...........at 9kph as oppose to walking at 5kph
i read this in a book the other day i did not believe it either

Jogging is still a slighty more exertive process? I.e. it still raises the heart rate, and requires more moving of the muscles, which in turn requires more energy (kcal or - SI units - J)...?

All of which are quite specific.

(It's also possible that there are fundamentally more "atomic" parts of smells than "atomic" parts of light. Meaning you need to have a bigger receptor set to catch them and build a meaningful picture. )

Yup, sorry. Thinking out loud and didn't get a chance to correct myself before posting...

Perhaps our smell doesn't need to be so great, maybe its something that started off wonderful but evolved out as we learned which foods are safe to eat and which are not etc etc? (thinking out loud again...)

Yeah. Exactly. These tons of smell genes are ancestral. Probably back to when we were fish / reptiles or something.
Now, our vision rules... but there has been no enormous pressure to lose the ton of smell genes... so they are still hanging around.
I would guess.
