Most wild mammals have physical activity levels of 2.0 to 4.0, and the Hadza fall at the bottom of that range (Hadza women average 1.8, and men average 2.3).21 Instead, it is chimpanzees and sedentary Westerners who have unusually low PALs of about 1.5 and 1.6. Other great apes like orangutans also have low PALs.
