    This article is stupid. All it says is: “Yep, humans like nature. After evolving in it for years, we kind of like nature. And here’s a test that shows humans who walked in nature instead of in a city right before a numbers test tend to be better at one specific tested task.” (This seems to be a shocking revelation for some…)

      There is value to data showing the importance as part of a public policy debate. Should we have parks next to schools and should kids have recess. Should recess involve outdoor time is a perfect example of why studies like this have value.
