The Secret Why Animals Were Terrified Of Ancient Humans

Ancient humans didn't have claws, fangs, or super speed. So how did we become the dominant predator on Earth? The answer is "Persistence Hunting." While lions and cheetahs rely on short bursts of speed, humans used a "glitch" in mammalian biology to literally run their prey to death. ​In this video, we break down the 10 biological advantages that made us the most dangerous species in the eyes of animals. From our 4 million sweat glands to the "springs" in our feet, learn how we turned endurance into a lethal weapon. We explore why other animals can't breathe and run at the same time, and how our "dump truck" muscles (the gluteus maximus) actually saved our species. ​If you've ever wondered why humans are hairless or why we have arches in our feet, this is the evolutionary secret you've been looking for. We were the horror movie villains of the animal kingdom. ​#Evolution #Anthropology #Biology #PersistenceHunting #HumanHistory #ScienceExplained #Endurance #HumanBody #science
