Anatomically, humans are not the strongest or toughest of all creatures but one thing we are good than any other mammal on planet Earth is our endurance running. So in this video we will talk about: How Fast Humans Can Theoretically Run? Why We Have No Fur? Who is the Best Marathon Runner in the Animal Kingdom?

    That running animation is truly hilarious
  • @spunkflunk
    That running animation was like that flash game qwop
  • That animation in the beginning is the perfect running technique. You may not like it, but that’s what peak performance looks like.
  • @LycanWitch
    Imagine if humans actually were taught to run, run everywhere.. rather than being taught, punished, or scolded when you run (i.e. scolded or punished for running in the hallway at school), so much so that running was as natural and normal as walking is. This shower thought always made me wonder how fast human sprinters could sprint if running everywhere was the norm :P
  • love how hes explaining how we run but using an animation who is dislocating his tailbone every 2 steps lmao
  • Imagine finally getting some food after a lot of work and then you see 50 giant naked mole rats with weird long sticks running towards you
  • @bunsenn5064
    Consider that the skeletal muscle pump also plays a role here. In order to run this fast, you need to be able to not only get blood down to the legs but also back up to the heart fast enough to deliver adequate oxygen.
  • I really like seeing human attributes and limits objectively quantified with numbers like this. Gives you a better perspective of it all
  • @sam.6839
    Why does he sound like he’s trying to convince animals that were better then them like there watching this 😂
  • @KingDeadMan
    I love his analogies. As a car person, this really makes it more simple to understand.
  • @franzhanz8945
    I can tell yall, like anybody who ever ran for his life: adrenaline is the answer. When someone gets an adrenaline push nothing matters anymore, you can run at least two times faster than normally its crazy.
  • @ysabellpp
    The running animations though ...I can’t unsee it 😂
  • @zenpendy
    Human: I may be slower but I ll outlast you! Lion: yeah, outlast me in my stomach.
  • I remember when my uncle was in high-school. He was so fast and athletic that every year he would participate in track and field. 7 events and would take gold every year. He set state records that held for years and the one thing he said was to sprint on your toes. Pretty cool. I also had a friend who told me that theoretically he had an advantage in sprinting (verified by his doctor) because he has an extremely high arch in his feet. I dont know much about this claim but maybe you others in the comments might know something about that?
  • @void6084
    The fact that someone probably broke it and probably didn't even know this is interesting...
  • We're endurance hunters who utilise team tactics, it's no coincidence that we domesticated the dog. We perfectly compliment one another's strengths and weaknesses - now we rule the world, and they get belly rubs lol

    "Hey how should we draw Usain Bolt as a cartoon character?" "Idk just draw like a white dude on fire or something"
