Thank you very much.

And I've brought a lovely little fact along for you this week.

Um,

Apparently, researchers have discovered that humans may have evolved to run long distances as a result of their endurance pursuit hunting skills.

So the idea being that humans would pursue its prey for long, long periods of time to exhaust it.

They'd use a technique of sort of running in the heat predominantly so that the animal would become completely exhausted and suffer from heat exhaustion.

Eventually tyre, we don't know how long it would take to tyre, but I'm guessing quite a while if you're a deer.

It's because we've got a good audio book going on and we don't want to stop.

Whereas cats, silly things, don't listen to things like that.

Yes, yes.

So we've got longer legs.

We've got a longer leg.

But also we've got, I'm going to say, cracking buttocks.

Yeah.

Yeah, we've got really good buttocks that help us run.

Thank you for noticing.

Yeah, cracking buttocks.

It's the only reason I'm on the podcast is to sit around with a selection of absolutely cracking buttocks.

It is, isn't it?

But we've got cracking buttocks.
