Although, I don't believe that humans as a species were meant to run long distances or persistence hunt. If a person likes to run for sport or for themselves, be my guest.

No...humans have the best endurance in the animal kingdom. Early hunters would need to harass and tire out their prey with constant chasing, projectiles etc. because they couldn't match them with bursts of speed or natural defenses (horns, claws..). Humans are the only species that can continuously run at marathon paces without rest or nourishment. Animals like cheetahs and even whales need to rest every so often across long distances because their muscles essentially shut down. Long distances and persistant hunting is what made us human...is there a reason you don't believe this martins?

edit - i'm not talking about cultured tribes that used languages, i'm talking about early on the evolutionary timeline.
