humans sweat but antelopes don’t. this is part of what makes humans (and also wolves and some other social canids, and hyenas that pant instead) hilariously good at long distance running and so can just run or jog following a herd until antelopes collapse from heat exhaustion. this is called persistence hunting
i’m pretty sure that there’s a tribe or a couple of them that practice that form of hunting even today
Plus being upright. Most of our weight is supported by skeleton, rather than muscles that get tired, and walking is mostly a matter of falling forward in a controlled manner

Now the most persistent hunting my dog and I do is to the kitchen to rummage for a snack.
Mongolians still fuck with it as far as I know, also coupled with falcons
