Walking with friends did not significantly change pace for anyone, and women only slightly changed their pace when walking with their partner. The authors say this suggests that【B6】_____stride only happens for romantic partners.
Biologically speaking, the researchers say it【B7】_____that men are more likely to take on an energetic burden to accommodate their lover. That’s because a woman’s reproductive system【B8】_____ energy disturbances, and in hunter-gather societies that sometimes walked long distances, too much energy expenditure could【B9】_____a woman’s ability to conceive. The researchers believe this provides an added layer of information for【B10】_____fossil footprints of ancient societies.
