At the start of life we put more ability points into intelligence, while other animals placed theirs in speed and strength
Pawn Junkie But my charisma is 10.... I only put 4 points into Intelligence.
Pawn Junkie
Humans also put more points in endurance, that means that while we can't run as fast we can run a LOT longer than 99% of animals.
Tier Zoo?
Endurance is useful, but it really wont help in escaping lol
T-Rekt yea lol what's the point of having endurance when a animal could just easily catch up to you and eat you
We humans traded the ability to outrun and began to trap our prey using our wits.
Precisely.
Yep but we long distance run to help kill our prey like wolves and dogs
Did you even watch the video? Outrunning prey was early man's specialty.
Did you understand my comment in relation to the video? If not stop commenting.
+EH CBunny incorrect. Human beings are still the greatest distance running mammals on the planet. No other animal can come close to running as long as the top marathon runner can without needing to stop & rest. Tribes in africa still hunt this way, essentially running after an animal for 2-3 days until it dies from exhaustion. Properly conditioned humans can outdistance the best 4 legged mammal by a factor of 3 with ease. So long as the human can track the animal, he will run it down every time and win. The animal only wins when the human loses the track.
It's actually pretty amazing how good humans are at endurance. But that said, we are actually pretty damn strong, too. Especially our legs and feet. Our feet bones and tendons are immensely strong, and our leg strength by weight is off the charts! Coupled with our natural resistance to diseases, our ability to heal quickly, and our brains...we're kinda terrifying.
Iva Ivkata but the thing about wild animals is that they have sharp teeth and claws that could easily kill us.we may be stronger then a lion but we definetly won't survive if we get bitten directly by one.
majestic_eagle mvm well, that's why knives exist
People shouldn't walk in the wild without one
A knife is part of your body tho
Yeah we are strong but animals can kill us to and we can kill animals...
Best predators the world has ever seen
Here's how I see it. Every animal has its niche for survival, hawks have super vision, cheetahs have speed, gorillas have their strength... etc. but what makes humans special is our brains, and it has allowed us surpass every species on the planet. We take our minds for granted but no doubt if we were animals we'd probably be dying to be a human.
Our mind is our niche ability.
That and the fact that the human capacity to act in groups far outstrips that of any other species; we are the only species we know of capable of forming Nation States.
+khrystov czevak
Ants can cooperate much more efficently than us, on a smaller scale though and every individual ant is probably just a mindless drone but still they are very good at cooperating
+khrystov czevak other animals work in groups better than us
humans are too busy trying to be unique and individual
we can only pull together in when something we care about is at risk or everyone in a certain group wants the same thing, any even then it ain't a guarantee.
+khrystov czevak What about ants, bees, etc.?
Actually what sets us apart is our thumb. Do need ants have that? That's the reason. we got to the top, we made tools. Thanks to our hands
animals may run faster than us, but they cant outrun our bullets....

OmegaWolf2025 Cavemen had to hunt Mamooths without guns. Not only that humans were smaller back then and Mamooths are bigger than an elephant
electric feel I highly doubt neanderthals were ever able to consistently take down mammoths, and if so most likely suffered casualties.
I saw a fascinating video by national geographic (i think) of a small tribe in Africa that hunts only with a traditional throwing spear. No bow, no javelins. They catch prey by using 3 men to pursue it. One is the "chaser", he runs & tracks after the animal and essentially chases until the animal dies of exhaustion. The other two catch up later to carry the animal back to the tribe. While humans are slower and weaker than other animals no other mammal can run as far as a human can without resting (that is, a properly conditioned & trained human). Breaks down to two simple factors - sweat glands. Many mammals don't have them and the few that do, no other animal has as many sweat glands as a human being. Thus we can regulate our body temperature much easier than any other animal and exert longer before overheating. A gazelle can outrun us easily, but it will have to stop and rest & drink much much sooner than a human will.. so long as the human can keep tracking the animal, he will eventually catch it within 2-3 days. The other factor is we can carry water. Even the earliest man learned to use waterskins made of animal bladders & stomachs to carry water. This allows us to keep moving and hydrate. All other mammals must stop and find water, frequently.. we can carry our own. Each time the animal stops (And follows a predictable path of finding water), the human closes in more and more for the kill. We win by attrition, not strength and speed.
are you factoring carrying the water into that? that would be ungodly. And you're already sweating, so, there's no way you'd replace that water with what you were carrying. I'm still not convinced if the running ape theory in that humans would be much more uniform in body types, at least in Africa it were true. Stumpy weight lifter guys would never have been able to run down food. We have chimps today that have entered into a stone age. But those tools they're using are weapons, not shoes. If we are anything, it's weapon chimps, that fucked bonobos
Jason Sieckmann There is no question whether humans can run down other animals. Tribes in Africa are STILL doing it today (though less and less as their country ever so slowly modernizes, but they are still very much have tribal communities with no ready access to technology). Keep in mind, it is not being done alone - they utilize the other key advantage humans have over other animals - community, the ability to co-ordinate and work together in ways unlike any other animal can. One man is the chaser, the other 2 or more men are support carrying supplies and they follow at a slower pace far behind the chaser. An animal needs to run to a source of water to rehydrate and cool down (no sweat glands, they have to pant or immerse in water). A human can carrying a moderate sized waterskin to replenish some of the lost water and is also heating up 4x slower than any other animal. This isn't myth, it's proven fact that humans are the supreme distance runners. Yes we're immensely slower than any other mammal, but our bodies are vastly more efficient at cooling down, which is the ultimate factor in an endurance test as it is a body overheating (too much water loss) which ultimately causes you to stop running. Also worth mentioning that human beings hold more water per pound of body mass than other mammals - we have deeper reserves to draw upon when under strain.
+Hathur I still question the running ape theory. Agrarian society predates not only modern society, there's a potential that it predates these methods of hunting. I just don't think that there is a uniform way to explain how humans obtained food at any point in history. Our varying body types may have a lot to do with this. Most people excel in some form of athletics and not necessarily endurance. So, either genetic predisposition for explosive and maximal strength bodies is a phenomena that arrived after this form of hunting or it existed at the same time for evolutionary reasons that don't fit this theory
Jason Sieckmann You're mistaken in assuming I or anyone else said that this form of hunting was the predominant method of hunting of early man. It was A way of hunting, for some humans. The primary method was clearly tool useage - the sling, spear, javelin and eventually bow. Groups of men would organize and hunt together to bring down a beast in swift time. But in some communities on the planet they couldn't or didn't use that method and instead used the endurance method. You forget that humans were a nomadic species far longer than we were a settled species. We spent the bulk of our existence wandering. It was only the advent of agriculture about 11,000 years ago that humans began forming settled communities. Prior to that we were great walkers, wandering endlessly in search of food, resources - never staying one place for too long. Our supremacy in endurance is simple genetics, there's nothing about it that is difficult to understand. We simply have sweat glands (or vs animals that also have them, we have thousands of times more glands than they do. I.e. a cat only has sweat glands in its paws.. a human has sweat glands over almost every inch of his or her body). That's all this breaks down to, the ability to regular body heat and cool down. An experienced human traveler can walk about 40 miles per day in a 12 hour span. An average human can do about 28 miles and a typical athlete can do around 32 miles. A gazelle can only cover about 18 miles per day in a 10 hour span before they have to stop for the rest of the day to cool down and sleep. The gazelle can run absurdly faster than we can, but it cannot cover the same distance per day and does not recover as fast as a human. No mammal can because they cannot cooldown fast enough for the simple fact they have no glands or not enough of them. And while 4 legs are superior for speed, they are hindrance for distance movement as they require much more energy to move. A bipedal animal expends energy much more efficiently, at the cost of speed.
+Hathur your argument isn't komplex it's just repeating what was saved in the video. there's nothing I fail to recognize in terms of in terms of how Evolution played out. It appears to me that they are attempting to make an argument that humans evolved to represent these genes that allow us to have great endurance, that suggests the humans evolved to have predisposition for endurance and not other types of athletic capability. my easily understood argument is that uniformity in evolutionary priority is inaccurate. I'm not interested the tribes which most likely have interbred to produce their offspring produce similar types of athletic capabilities. regionally humans would have spent a great deal of time doing many types of things other than running or hunting. again it comes down to athletic adaptation mixed with genetic predisposition. not all people are genetically predisposed to endurance in fact very few people actually are and you start to cross a greater threshold of humans that have existed than just people who lived in that particular tribe in Africa. I would argue that many scientists were studying evolutionary biology May in some respects be out of their particular field when they're discussing athletic adaptation vs. say someone that's an exercise physiologist
"If you had the option to be ripped but also couldn't form basic sentences would you take it?"
You just described the majority of the people on this planet.
About 1/4 of the people in the US are like that, and 1/2 are just fat and unable to form basic sentences.
+BLUEDRAGONFLY Congratulations,that's one of the most flawed argument I have ever read,here take a 20(£) gift card as a price.

We may be a little slow, but we have some of the highest endurance.
+Kevin O'Neal not some. The highest endurance. No known mammal on earth can run as far as a fully conditioned human being (marathon runner) without rest. Not even close. They don't have our sweat glands and ability to regulate body temperature, they will overheat long before a human being.
Endurance only works if something doesn’t catch up to you fast enough
Endurance is good for chasing but not running away from animals like cheetah or tigers for example
@@brokenlordofcinder4128 good thing its usually the humans that hunt lions,cheetah,tigers etc then we have no natural predators we killed them long ago.Its also not always likely a predator would attack a full grown human standing its ground.Our bipedal structure looks big and we may be weak but the predators dont know that :) most would not want to risk a fight incase of injury.but if it was a mother defending a baby you better get away quick lol your fucked without weapons otherwise

+Jebuslives That doesn't mean they don't utilize their intelligence effectively for survival
Keemstar is faster
I thought humans are no longer as strong as apes and chimps because we evolved fine motor control over our limbs and digits, which sacrificed the brute strength we had before. I could have sworn there was a DNews video on that at some point.
Anyone on this, would like to see this vid of it exists...
noo there's nothing preventing you from having fine motor controls if you are stronger, otherwise the more muscle mass you put on the more clumsy you'd get which clearly isn't the case
cats and dogs? you're even slower than the fly 😂
They might be faster but humans can sweat so we can run for hours
I moved here from Canada and they think I'm slow, eh??
yes, in comparison to other animals in a short distance
+The Spark you didn't get the reference
megagene eh???
That is the single most cringe worthy introduction I have ever witnessed. Touché.
There’s always that saying “you can run faster than an a human, but a human will always catch up”
I've also heard the theory that we are weaker due to our evolution of fine motor control of muscles which we needed for tool building ect. so the idea is that our brains actually limit our strength so we have greater control of our muscles. I tend to believe this is true because of the stories of someone with hysterical strength who can lift a car.
Yes true!

Wow, we changed drastically our way of fast moving like no other animal. Incredible
Research has shown that a human in excellent running condition can catch any animal on Earth when the temperature is 100 F or above, no other animal can cool their bodies enough to keep going at those temperature
Anyone else imagine themselves as prey when ancient humans were around and hunting? I got a weird sense of pride thinking about how terrifying it must have been for any animal at that time being hunted by something so calculating and patient

Weiboy Lärarslaktaren tell me more about the cops and robbers
Our brain is what kept us safe, not our ability to walk long distances or our endurance. It doesn't matter if I can walk 20 miles if a lion can catch me within 3 seconds. We'd have to have a mile head start on a cheetah in order for it to run out of gas before catching us.
You can't have everything, you know. We get a physically weak and slow body but with a much faster brain. I think that's fair enough.
Humans too op plz nerf
Haha.
Right! Take away our Spears !
There are humans who traded brainpower for abs,
They're called jocks
Scottish people?
correct me if im wrong but...couldnt the cheetah run just as long as we can (provided it kept the same pace as we do)?youre comparing the cheetah running at its top speed to humans "jogging" (humans also wouldnt have endurance if they ran at their top speed for more than a few 100 meters)
We aren`t weaker than Chimps and Bonobo`s. On a lb for lb basis, they are stronger. but because men are usually twice the size, Chimps are generally slightly weaker. I have several strength tests for Chimps (the original sources)
Great question!

Wouldn't our closest relatives be extinct human species and not chimpanzees?
A cheetah may outrun me. But then I get into my car and BOOM. I'm FASTER THAN A CHEETAH on the freeway.
I dunno I had a friend who could leg press nearly a ton... we use our legs and chimps use their arms. Are chimp's legs that strong?
But we are faster than sloth for sure XD dont mind me just keep scrolling down lol
if we use something like tools, the ability will go away, we had longer jaws so wisdom teeth can fit but thanks to tools, it no longer does

New theory says humans can run 40 mph.
Also humans could possibly lift 7x their bodyweight(not over the head)
No has ever had peak human strength or speed.
That's going by possibility and natural "hacks", not currently proven statistics.
Wolves can run over 200 kilometers ( non stop), ur theory is false, humans can not out run wolves thats how wolves emigrants from a land to other. just like birds how they fly in groups from state to another, as some people who wanted citations, check out: national geographic: episode about wolves. wolves has humongous power and stamina an omega wolf can kill 4 unarmed men in less then 2 min.
Talal Alanazi i dont know where that comes from, what i have heard from many sources is that humans have the best stamina of all animals and followed by horses
Talal Alanazi they may do it in cold weather but not in the Savannah
Talal Alanazi citation?evidence?
Talal Alanazi human can run over 200 kilometres non stop too. Look up ultra running. I've got friends in their fifties who do the uk Ridgeway challenge 86 miles with ease. I had a friend that did the Thames ring 250 mile race. humans have incredible Endurance

THe issue is we're modernised, look at us NO FUR, Losing out senses, in warm heated homes, throw out food in the oven we don;t have to catch a raddit with out bare hands, this is why we're weak we go to bed in a bed, no animals around to disturb us, We wake up we don't need to fast wake, then we go to work in a nice car we don't have to walk everywhere, we go to work, may be tough but not as tough as fighting animals day after day or surviving droughts. This is why we're getting weaker and weaker.

Ryder Washington Read again
Vegan DR statistically and factually, what you just said makes no sense.
Depends on the animal not all humans are smart. I know several people animals could easily out smart.
speed was not an essential survival quality for hominids. hands and large brains allowed control over the surrondings. instead of having to need all the super human animal traits ourselves. we used technology. bows to make up for lack of speed, boats to make up for lack of gills and fins, and wheels and machines for lack of strength

are you blind racing a dog? also what dog is it? chivavaus don't count
although lets be clear many highly intelligent people are often also very athletic. In fact intelligence and health often go hand in hand
Like John Cena !
his first hurray in the beginning of the video made me smile so much
One serious flaw in the endurance hypothesis is the fact that we only started eating meat 2my ago. We only started hunting a while after that if anything we have more copies of the starch digesting enzyme than chimps so it makes more sense we evolved our endurance for finding starchy food. Hence why certain parts of our brains can only use glucose for energy.
This video is a lie! I'm faster then a turtle!
This proves evolution wrong
+halo player and every insect and anphibian and any fish when they are on land

Tortoises can run pretty fast actually if you were the size of a tortoise i dunno who'd win
It is true some have even beaten even horses in long distance races, and i can only imagine the bookies enthusiasm when they had to pay up of 16-1 bets, but that is something only the cream of the crop can accomplish. In USA alone, considering the % of obese people, i doubt most can outrun a bunny even if it has a basket full of chocolate as prize, much less something with a decent amount of stamina...
We might have the potential of being the top long distance runner on the planet, but as of right now we are certainly some of the laziest.
How about now four years later? Are we still obse
Two legs versus four. Not that hard to figure out that four legs are faster, but two legs are 50% more efficient than four legs, which means more energy for our brains, and two legs means we have two hands for grasping tools.
3:24 my mind went to "you can't out run a cheetah, but they can't outrun a bullet"
Because we're smarter than other animals. What we lack in natural abilities, we make up for with our technology.

"which can break the sound barrier"
Imagine running away from a sound so fast.
BuckyBoi yeah but after a minute,cheeatah get eshausted and human arent
Hi.
The problem is:
Humans are the second fastest bipedal beings and in 28th place among maybe thousands.
Chimps are usually pound for pound 35% stronger when it comes to pulling, and in terms of absolute strength we tend to outperform them.
Bye.
What do you mean if you ever raced a cheetah and are not named Usain Bolt, you'd lose? A cheetah, at 75 mph would leave Usain Bolt at 27.8 mph in the dust. It would leave most cars in the dust.
Most animals run on all fours. If we grew up walking on all four Limbs, we'd be waaaay faster than we are now.
Bro must've evolved from the ice age sloth
I think a big dude who is proportionally well formed and has muscle power towards the explosive side (and a bit more muscle than average) could match a chimp very well (by which I mean: is able to keep himself alive)
MikeProductions1000 body builders arentneccesarily that strong. Interpretend it like roads building a road ormuscle mass is harder than building electric generators your actual strenght. you need more roads for more generators body builders just build more roads simply creating more volume to their muscles a body builder is only a bit stronger than the average male or female
chimp twice as strong than a human is proved to be a hype. their muscle produce similar strength (equal muscle mass) but theirs have more type 2 fibers whereas we have more type 1, which is way better in endurance and precise moves (like writing)
The thing that Impressed me most is that the American narrator correctly said "neesh", and not "nitch" ( 0:29)
"Wear down your prey until they collapse of exhaustion". Damn, humans are scary
Meanwhile I struggle to run half a kilometer without running out of breath...
Me too, I can relate. Most humans are horrible at running very long distances.
I have another answer,
It is because us humans were not designed to run fast or even walk.
We were desinged to climb but that went out the window when we started walking with 2 legs
Fun fact: you searched for this video
Are you saying the average chimp is twice as strong as the average human or that a human sized chimp would be twice as strong as a human.
*A lot of wild African tribes still hunt by chasing an animal untill it collapses*
+Nathan Jones yep, saw a video of it awhile ago.. Was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Three men chased it down for 2 days. Only had spears, but they didn't even need to use them - they just ran after the animal until it fell over, dead from exhaustion since the human hunters wouldn't let it stop to sleep or get water.. and since humans can run longer without overheating or needing as much sleep, they just kept catching up and forcing the animal to keep running. Was awe inspiring to watch those three men hunt it and track it.
We are slower than walrus and hippos.
We slower because we don't have to rely on physical speed for survival, we have are intelligence.
No wonder war is scary, you haven't evolved to fight the one creature as strong as you
We want to survive trauma, bullets? We build armor. We want to travel long distances that no animal can? We build cars. We want to fly? We build aircraft. We want to eat anything? We produce it in seemingly limitless quantities in an industrial food source. We have effectively conquered the hardships of nature simply with our intelligence. The most advantageous trait we possess as a species. We look up and wonder what it would be like to be a bird or a shark. But you have your intellect to thank for that thought process.
So what if chimps are 2x stronger than me. I made a marble roller coaster with 2 loopty loops, bumps, swerves, and funnels. Get on my level chimps.
We are not weaker. We have the power to move boulders and cars, our brains stop us from doing so. Our brain is concerned that we might pull or tear a part of our body.
Pretty sure an ostrich can outrun us on both the speed and endurance front
I can’t get over the magnification of this dudes glasses. He must be as blind as Thelma in scooby do 😂
