It's entirely possible that the CAC response is evolved to have some protective factor for endurance running.

- gregwebs 2y agoHumans didn't evolve for endurance running though. Endurance running although a widespread concept was performed very rarely. For the tribes in Africa used as examples- they endurance hunted one particular animal prone to over heating at one particular time of the year when the ground was muddier and they run slower. Most cultures endurance hunted more rarely than that. Humans evolved to be upright and thus are poor at running with only 2 legs. But we evolved to have very good heat dissipation since we had the intelligence to easily stay warm, etc without fur. Good heat dissipation gives us good endurance in warm weather, but 4 legged animals out run us for short and long distances as long as they don't get over heated.
