A study was done on a tribe of African hunter/gatherers that walk, on average, several miles a day. Turns out they burn only slightly more calories (less than 10% more) than the typical modern office worker. The body adapts to your activity level and walking is amazingly efficient when it is accustomed to it. Those ancient people were almost certainly burning less calories than your typical modern day American.
Who did the study, who paid for the study, and what were the results that they were looking for?
It sounds like to me they’re trying to talk people into sitting behind a desk all day, and convincing them that walking 7 miles a day would do them no good.
I don’t believe it for a minute!
You can’t tell me that it’s normal, and healthy to sit behind a desk all day long, without any exercise and stay healthy.

FFS, no. Obviously walking is good for you. They were merely studying the adaptation of the human body, in particular metabolism. They are literally adapted or accustomed to walking and their body optimizes to that. The body more or less trends to an average caloric consumption regardless of your activity level. obviously working out or strenuous activity seriously increases caloric consumption but the more you do it the better your body gets at it, more efficient which lowers caloric requirements.
Just as a little factoid ...

A study? That’s like saying statistics say.

Just another life in the cabal!

Does no one think anymore?
