Answer 1

We are better at breathing and when we overheat we can sweat off excess heat.

That being said, some animals can run for miles and miles, you can’t run down a horse, but you can walk it down.

– despite what people are writing, I don’t think humans ever ran for days after animals, it would be absurdly exhausting and inefficient. We’d probably have died out.
Unless im missing something we just tracked and followed at a distance until the animal was vulnerable.
