This is interesting, and there should be some genetic reflection of our
body type due to climate of ancestors as well as variations in metabolic
rates and  differences in timing of when metabolic rates change.  Teens
often can eat everything and run/walk/work it all off and it does seem the
less active teens are the heavier teens.  College athletes practically have
to eat bricks to maintain desirable weights and I can't imagine what the
300 lb professional football players do for food. I do know that a nice
broken ankle or knee gives me an extra 20 lbs that I lose two seconds after
I can get back to my normal range of activities.

I don't know if 3k ya is far enough back.
