      I was a fairly fast sprinter when I was younger. One day I was out in the woods and saw this short, squat armadillo waddling through the woods. I started to sprint towards it, but before I'd taken more than a step or two, the slow-looking armadillo had taken off like it was fired out of a gun. I didn't even try to catch it as it was obviously moving faster than I ever could.

      Forget equippable hunting weapons, we ARE hunting weapons.
      Another great example (which does play into the stalking thing a bit) is assassination. Understanding and learning about your opponent enough to hunt them down on their own grounds is a trait humans have had since before weapons. Duck call noise machines? Thats the relatively newer equipment in our learning and conspiring nature. Tracking through footprint, excretions, and other educational resources are an incredible skill humans have been learning for a lot of generations.
      "The Most Dangerous Game" comes to mind. Remember that was a story of a human, hunting another human for SPORT, letting him go after successfully tracking him down the first time, the hunted human turned around and used some of our other skills (trapping) to fight against that, and ended up beating the better equipped, more skilled, and smarter (but not saner) person. Granted, that story is an example of the "Human" here not winning, but it is important to remember that probably wasn't the first person the "Human" hunted, only the last. The "Human" here also was hubristic and eccentric given how he tracked and if he wasn't making a game out of it (something hunting for food would not have to the extent he did) he could just have shot and bagged the hunted person right then and there the FIRST TIME he went hunting. It was also important to denote that humans were the most dangerous game. On a planet full of things that wanted to kill you. Humans.
      TL;DR we are a group of minmaxed DND characters for intelligence and constitution, and we made it WORK for us.

      Because from a modern humans perspective it is unnatural, therefore making it creepy. It also reminds you of a predator, at least instinctively any way. In Micheal's video about why things are creepy he mentions that the creepy feeling we get can be attributed to a now defunct instinct to sense danger.

      Well I actually googled a Camel's hump, to see what it was made of. And the hump is made of adipose tissue, which stores water, and it's stacked up on it's back, instead of distributed over the body evenly to keep the camel cooled off.
      Our ass is where we store a lot of adipose tissue, and it's also concentrated away from our core. So maybe in the oddest sense, our asses do sort of act like a camel's hump.

      The most important part of the story was missed by the videos entirely. Humans cook their food, which means we not only get more nutrients because cooking pre-digests food, but it also means we were able to evolve, over the 200,000 years of cooking, a longer gut. Raw food is dangerous for a longer gut because it's more susceptible to food poisoning. This is why dogs, for example, can eat rotting raw meat because it passes through them faster.
      My point is, humans are the most efficient mammal at turning food into energy. It's this more than anything else that enables us to cover greater distances than any other land animal.

They are always very well writen and based on actual research....with a philosophical twist, as usual, but without becoming cheesy. That's why imo it stands out among other "scientific/informative" channels. Keep up the good work guys.

    I always love it when someone points out our physical evolutionary advantages. I find that so many people focus on our tools and our minds, and while they are our greatest assets, we're not completely helpless in the wild. Were somehow put into the situation where we only could hunt with a sharp object, we could do it, just like we did once before. With only our bodies.

    Can we please note how scary endurance hunting must be to the prey? Think of it this way: you're sitting at home, reading this comment, when a psycho chainsaw murderer walks through your door. You freak and run out your house and to the driveway. You think you're safe, but then there he is, just sorta walking towards you. So you freak out again and run to the edge of your neighborhood, stopping to catch your breath. And then there he is, just casually jaunting toward you. And so this process continues until you can't run anymore. All the while you know he's going to catch you, and you can only delay the inevitable.

    A common tactic for a lone wolf hunting is to spook it's prey, and then follow behind it until it's prey is exhausted at which point the wolf lopes up and eats it (the same way that humans hunted back in Kenya a hundred thousand years ago). I watched this clip of a wolf doing just this on some nature show and it was impressive. The hunt was filmed from high above in a helocopter and the picture was zoomed in. A beautiful white wolf bounds out of the bushes and spookes a deer somewhere up in Alaska. But instead of trying to put on speed, it just loped behind the frightened deer, staying in sight of it as it tried to get away. Eventually after fifteen miles the deer stumbled and tripped and spilled onto the ground at which point the wolf turned on the speed. It was over. And it was bloody well impressive.

I don't want to call them psychopaths as this would be a way too binarys point of view.
