Sweating. We evolved in a hot climate, and we, unlike many animals, can cool off from all over the body sweating. It allows us to run longer than other animals can before we over-heat. Some hunter-gatherer groups in Africa still take advantage of it by hunting prey by chasing them until the prey literally can’t run any more.
