Eli5: how are humans, who are two legged, able to out endure creatures that are four legged?
In: 1455
Because most animals are garbage compared to humans. Sure they usually have something “flashy” but that’s only from the human PoV. If an animal was capable of thought that mattered (and if it was it would be a person, not an animal) it would doubtlessly see the human endurance as magically as we see a bird’s flight or a horse’s speed. It would also see the human ability to accurately throw things and still have force behind them as pure wizardry. Nothing else on Earth can do that, FYI. And lets not forget that humans are also capable of operating on oxygen we take in without needing to store it in our muscles first, we can predict the future from the present and past, and unlike all but a handful of other animals we can do more than one task at a time without loosing focus on any of them (provided they are somewhat simple, like typing a message while walking).
