| Nov 10, 2019 at 12:22 | comment | added | Hell Hounder | Similar to what I also had in mind... Legs are needed to step climb on top of the mountains and claim victory over all. One dominant species, however, can say four legs are bad, and two legs are just enough to win over all. All their vital organs are high above most so beasts would have to topple over them, but they would have to catch them... While avoiding their feet, which had evolved from climbing trees to running, spinning, dodging, jumping, and kicking and crushing. The most powerful members of this species are capable of breaking spines and skulls of large animals with a single kick wit | |

| Nov 25, 2014 at 2:31 | comment | added | John Meacham | Running fast is less of an issue than running for any length of time. Our legs are supremely efficient at recovering almost all the energy from running allowing humans to keep up a running pace almost indefinitely. We are almost unique in that regard. For an example of what a difference it makes, try running a mile in sand vs on hard ground. Running on your hands would not have these advantages, humans would likely adapt to more wait and pounce tactics rather than our traditional run it down and club it with an antelope bone technique when hunting. | |
