      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting Here is a starting point. :)

      https://www.science.org/content/article/born-run-early-endurance-running--may-have-evolved-help-humans-chase-down-prey

      Note, it’s a theory, so there are some arguments against it. :) Things are rarely black and white.

        Here is an article that shows some contra points to the theorie, in case you want to have a look at that too.

        The evidence for it is rather shallow, realy.

        It’s pretty clear that persistent hunting is one of those myths concocted by someone to justify a world view that humans are “more special” than animals and has no more scientific basis than the “science” coming out of the Disney movies in the 1950s about nature.

      There is a man vs horse marathon since 1980, 35 kms/22 miles on rough terrain. There were 42 races, 4 times a human won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_versus_Horse_Marathon
