I was surprised to hear some years back that it's very likely that many of our long ago ancestors obtained food by simply running animals into the ground and spearing them as they lay gasping. Heck, enough well armed tribesmen could probably run down a lion and kill it (if it was alone), I'm guessing, as lions and many other hairy animals don't have the same sort of perspiration/cooling systems that we do.

Many animals are faster than us in short bursts but they tire before we do. At least the 'we' of our ancestral ages before the advent of couch potato-dom.
