In the last 150 years, the world has developed dramatically. Yet anatomy and physiology took millions of years to develop and have remained mostly unchanged over the previous 150,000 years. Specific implications come with this fact. Your body is a relic of a bygone era; humans have evolved in reaction to a world which no longer remains. Even though we exist in a world where computing power doubles approximately every two years, cognitive data processing has remained relatively unchanged for the past 150,000 years.

Dancing was occasionally utilized to express affections for the opposing gender. If people had killed a giant mammoth as cavemen, they would rejoice by dancing, roaring, and racing around.

Many people have sought to advance one skill or the other by implementing both. Both activities trigger the lizard brain within our bodies, which utilizes muscles, memory, experience, and so much more. Some even consider martial arts to be a form of dancing and vice versa.
