Watch the video before moving on.

Between a gorilla, a cheetah, a human and a pig, who is the fastest?
Rank the four organisms for who would finish a race first (fastest) and who would finish last (slowest).

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
3rd to finish a race		Cheetah
Last to finish (4th place & slowest)		Chimpanzee
2nd to finish a race		Human
1st to finish a race (fastest)		Pig

Use the information in the 4 slides to the left to fill out the table on your student handout.

Now that you have completed your data table, think again about who would be the fastest between a gorilla, a cheetah, a human and a pig?
Rank the four organisms for who would finish a race first (fastest) and who would finish last (slowest).
Record on your student handout as well.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
3rd to finish a race		Cheetah
Last to finish (4th place & slowest)		Chimpanzee
2nd to finish a race		Human
1st to finish a race (fastest)		Pig

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.
