I agree with pretty much anything you said, but I disagree on humans being poor runners. We are amongst (if not THE) most endurant runners on the planet. Humans have been known to defeat horses in long races [1]. As for running on the heel, this is more of a modern shod runner curse than a natural instinct or predisposition.

As prey, it's more likely a sneaky tiger will spring forth from the jungle and run us down for dinner. But yep, we can actually run other animals to death. Humans are terrifying unbalanced creatures.
