There’s one thing we’re physically better at than all other animals. We can stalk any land animal to exhaustion. Cave paintings of early humans commonly depict hunters of deer, bison, and other large grazing mammals, including mammoths. Each species is stronger than us and can outrun us, but they can’t run forever. Our mostly hairless bodies allow us to sweat efficiently and cool as we pursue our dinner, while our furry prey eventually overheat and collapse.
