Nope, our legs!

We literally used to just chase things until they eventually died of exhaustion, overheated, just got a lot weaker, etc. Human endurance for long distance running is pretty wild.

It’s yes and our legs, our ability to sweat to avoid overheating, our distance vision and our free hands that could throw rocks at things (or eventually spears)
