After you watch the video, work with your group to come up with 3 reasons humans are good at running.

Record your 3 reasons on your student handout.

After you watch the video consider the following question:

Are humans an apex predator? Work with your group to explain your reasoning.

Record your answers on your student handout.

Watch the video about persistence hunting before moving on.

We have looked at a lot of evidence about what adaptations have made humans born to run and also considered additional things that separate us from other predators.

So, if humans are not apex predators, what are?

Stay tuned. Next class we will dive further into this question.
