The human body is good at being flexible and adapting to a wide variety of environments. You see it in a lot of areas of life, rigid efficiencies and flexible inefficiencies. Being more flexible has its costs and benefits. Humans are very much "jack of all trades, master of none".
- nobodyandproud 6y agoNo way. Humans are long distance champions (ymmv). As long as we can track an animal, we can run run them down to exhaustion.
- wruza 6y agoIsn’t that because hairy animals often overheat quickly? (As opposed to being exhausted energy-wise.)
- tcoff91 6y agoI’d imagine it’s also due to our bipedal locomotion, our ability to carry water, our intelligence helping to pick superior routes, and yes we have a cooling advantage compared to most other mammals. Maybe slow vs fast twitch muscle fiber amounts too?
