And humans can only run marathons if they replenish body fluids and
electroytes
while they do it, especially in hot climates. Despite those wondeful
images
of human ancestors running down prey, the sad fact of the matter is that
any human would be be so easily out-paced by any savannah mammal, that
they would only be able to catch the lame (occasionally), the dying
(sometimes),
and the dead (mostly). If humans had a savannah ancestor then she was a
scavenger.
