Hello Lee et. al.,

Is this true? We can outrun a horse on the desert? Can either animal
(human or horse) run for any length on the desert?

"And the hunters' tracking skills must be exquisite; finding and
following the quarry every time it bolts out of sight or mingles with a
herd is no easy task-teamwork helps. But done right, Liebenberg says,
persistence hunting is so effective that it may have helped select for
the excellent thermoregulatory system, bipedal posture, and long
strides that we all possess."
