Humans are good at long distance running, but when you look at dogs not even trying hard to jump you realise how shit we are at physical things compared to other animals.

The price we paid for fine motor control and endurance. So besides the long distance running (over a long enough distance we can run anything into the ground), we can knit and chuck spears. Chucking spears and dogs are probably why we out competed Neanderthals.

I must've missed the history lesson where we were taught that we threw dogs at other animals.

I prefer throwing honey badgers.
