No, but their amount of low-level activity and movement would far outweigh our modern sitting sedentariness. And this is where the discordance lies.BTW,
don't assume are ancestors were in the move all the time, they're not.

I like this idea. I will try it. At least the monitor part, raising everything would be a pain. Maybe if I put my entire desk on jacks....I've been standing at my computer for a couple years now. It's great. Put the monitor and keyboard up on boxes when I'm tired of sitting, put it back down when I get tired of standing.

Agreed, many fat people who exercise regularly. Just because you spend an hour at the gym, doesn't mean you'll be fit.I highly doubt body composition plays no significant role here. And am almost certain that obese people stand to face health problems from being sedentary much sooner than a sedentary person who exercises regularly and has lower BMI. But did I really need to tell anybody this?

Sitting can't be that bad. Nature built us to sit as well stand, run and walk. I'm sure if you have a desk job there are plenty of things you can do to mitigate whatever possible negative effects come with sitting at a desk. Stand up more often and take more breaks. Stretch your legs throughout the day while sitting. Keep your legs moving. Stretch your back. These steps can't possibly interfere with a productive day at work.
I used to wait tables and would be concerned about the effect it was having on my knees and feet. There is some aspect of most jobs that negatively affect one's health.
