 "The public was amazed at the prowess of the runners and even more so

Tiger

  three consecutive days that same year, near Norogachic, Chihuahua,
 covering a distance of 300 kilometers,
 or 186 miles, of mountainous country."

 for heat loss in dry open environments, where evaporative
 heat loss from sweating is very effective. All modern-day tall

The tallest people in the world, the Nuer and Dinka people of southern
Sudan, live in humid swampy conditions.
The San or Bushman people of the Kalahari desert are the second
shortest people in the world.
No Australian Aboriginal people, even desert nomads, are 'elongated'.
There are many people who have run marathons, but has anyone run a
marathon without drinking water during the race? No human can run far
without drinking lots of water, especially in hot dry conditions. Do
you suppose that when Homo erectus was chasing a gnu they had their
freinds lined up with water-filled ostrich eggs so they could have a
drink when they needed it? Or did they stop at convenient water holes?
