4:50 yes he did correct himself in his recent video on horses, horses are also long distance runners who sweat too, but they don't sweat as efficiently as humans bc they still have fur even if it's short.

No they’re right, horses also have pores. Its just they still have a layer of fur, and sweat gets caught in it making it not as effective as bare skin. When humans sweat, since we for the most part have bare skin, the sweat can evaporate off our bodies no issues. But for horses, it get caught in their fur making it more difficult to evaporate and trapping som of it there either on or close to their skin which doesn’t do much good

She's right not to trust chimps! A primatologist once told me that if you taught chimpanzee tribes to use guns, they'd drive themselves extinct within a month. They have the self restraint and emotional control of a tantrumming toddler. God forbid they ever became intelligent enough to devise nuclear physics. Now there's a species that would definitely press the button!
Talking about the stamina thing, hunger is a hell of a drug. Back when we were hunter/gatherers, we could turn off that voice in our head that said "stop." Mainly, because we knew if we didn't kill whatever we were running after, we would die.

Back in highschool, I was quite overweight and I've only ever ran when late for a bus. But during one PE class, when we all ran laps, I just randomly started focusing on my breathing out of boredom and with every exhale I just went: "okay.......okay......okay...." And it felt like I unlocked a cheat code, because I got my pace locked on way above everyone's overall average, kept lapping everyone for at least 30 minutes straight (some of whom were triathletes and tried to give their best to keep up with me) and I felt like I cannot help myself to stop anymore. It felt so uncomfortable to hit the brakes afterwards. I still have no idea wtf happened. Was it all just from proper breathing? Or do we humans have some massive energy reserves that we can't access unless opened through focus?

@@anthonymcrooster3703 I can relate to the 'no stamina when running' folks, I can walk long distances just fine, but always been more of a sprinter than a runner. When I took up swimming it turned out I had the endurance for swimming any distance. I'd swim non-stop for 2hrs, and only feel tired later and then sleep though films at the cinema 🤣. When swimming, breathing is dictated by the stroke, i.e. when your face is out of the water, you must inhale, and a lot to fill your lungs for buoyancy, so exhale into the water to make more time for inhaling when out. I never went back to running because I never enjoyed it, but 'proper breathing' definitely helps when swimming.

It's called adrenaline. When you are being chased or someone you care is in great danger the brain releases it and gives you a momentary energy boost and strength. It's the main reason why mothers seem to have super powers when their babies are in danger.

3:05 I can confirm that. When I started running to lose some weight I usually run 7.5km in one go but at one time I was struggling and decided to push even further, after I reached my marked, suddenly I felt like I can run forever, so I run to 10.5 km mark and stopped only because my feet were hurting, skin pale of on them which made the open area fee burning on a contact with my shoe. When I stopped I literally felt my blood flowing inside my veins, I don't remember exactly, but in my memory, it was as if you could've heard and seen it pumping from the outside of my skin. Damn it was a wild feeling, I think you are right about the statement that if you push past "I can't do it anymore" your body enters a special state which allows you to push even further

Our stamina is developed as an offensive tool rather than a defensive one. Humans can jog for dozens of miles with the intelligence to keep on tracking fleeing prey even when they're long out of sight. Even the most spry of quarry will have collapsed in an exhausted heap long before humans do. Cheetahs would be no exception regardless of their speed bursts. Although it'd be an unusual day that humans are hunting a cheetah. Not a lot of meat on them really! Natural human defence relies on cooperation and intimidation - making ourselves too frightening or confusing to be worth the effort. Most cheetahs learned many millennia ago that humans are far too dangerous a target, especially in numbers. Human cooperation is the other God-tier stat we possess, and the stat that has seen us build whole nations and civilisations. Other species can organise themselves into packs or hives etc. but none with the runaway complexity and specialisation of human societies. Isolated from those societies and unable to create an intimidating aura, then we do become easy cat food.

If you're looking for other channels to react to, I recommend Kurzgesagt and CGP Grey. Both of them are educational channels, but in different ways. Kurzgesagt does space, earth sciences, and existential despair about being one tiny mind in a vast and uncaring universe, and CGP Grey does hyperspecific videos on history, technology, and airports (seriously, he has three videos on minutiae of airports and they're all fascinating). They collaborated on a pair of videos together, which I recommend as a starting point: "What Are You?" on Kurzgesagt's side and "You Are Two" on CGP Grey's.
the running thing is 100% accurate. when i first joined the army i almost blacked out running a 8:30 mile, and i had asthma it felt like i was dying. by the end of a year of running 3-5 miles every morning and up to 100 in a week for a bit, i was running 5 miles in 30 min and just feeling like i could easily keep going. every human who is not disabled or morbidly obese should be able to run atleast 2-3 miles within 30 min. train for a few weeks or months and you'll be passing 5 miles in under 7-8 minute miles easily because thats what your body is designed for.
My opinion on the sweat being unique to humans part is it was referencing the effectiveness of it just as throwing is leagues better in humans than in other animals (I'm just speculating though).
You're right about Horses also sweating, it's just we do it better. As for more recommendations from TierZoo, i'd recommend just having a gander through his videos and picking one that interests you as that way we all get what we want :) Though, one of the channels he previewed in this video is called Primitive Technology. I also highly recommend this guy too, especially if you're interested in how primitive humans might have achieved certain things. Primitive Technology is the channel that basically started the 'Build a hut in the woods' trend that cropped up a few years back, the major difference being that John of Primitive Technology actually does everything with the tools he's made himself. Essentially at the start of his channel he is just a man with a pair of shorts in the woods with a camera. But yeah i definitely recommend watching a few of his vids, markedly the tiled roofed hut from 7 years ago (holy bologna that makes me feel old) but again just any that catch your fancy would be good. For comedy i'd recommend Ryan George, he has a pitch meeting series and many other sketches.

All mammals are descended from ancestors that had sweat glands, although I'm guessing that some (I'm thinking of whales) have lost them over time. I think it's more a case of sweat being a more effective cooling mechanism if you don't have fur, rather than other mammals not having sweat glands at all. My favourite video from this channel is "Earth's Worst Balance Patch".

The distinction is that we use sweating to cool down. Well, correction: sweating by itself doesn't actually cool us down; evaporation does. We sweat, the sweat evaporates, the process of evaporation causes a drop in temperature on the skin, cooling the blood. It works for us because we don't have fur. It doesn't work for horses, dogs, etc. even if they sweat, because their fur inhibits the evaporation process. It's also why the process works better in drier climates (the phrase "but it's a dry heat" exists for a reason).
TierZoo is great for learning more about random animals on a more generał level (with some exceptions) and the game-like narration style is awesome. Another great channel is Ze Frank and his “True Facts” series. It’s incredibly informative, uses unique, scientific footage and Ze Frank is also an extremely funny guy. I think you’d love it. 🙂

The "game-like narration" has a little bit of a history before tierzoo. There is a subreddit r/outside which is dedicated to the mmo game Outside (the game your parents were talking about when they told you to "go play Outside") Initially it was mostly human-centric discussions - "how to complete the 'find mate' objective in the romance questline?" "What's your fix for the 'hangover' debuff from the alchohol potion group?" "What profession should I select if I want loads of money?" That sort of thing. In time discussion branched out to the idea that not all players are human mains and some players began posting their thoughts on non-human players and builds- and somewhere through that Tierzoo emerged.
Nice! I was actually thinking of mentioning TierZoo when you did your Casual Geographic video but it appears you've found it all on your own. Cheers!
Yesssss more Tierzoo pls. Such an underrated channel that only has like 4 people reacting to it on KZread for some reason lol

On your bit about the conversation with your friend. One thing to keep in mind is that fast walking and jogging also count towards this endurance, not just full-out running. Hunter-gatherers generally walk at a brisk pace or jog, rather than a full out run, which is way less efficient. Then they use their tracking abilities to keep track of the prey when it is out of sight. With humans, walking is pretty much a resting state. So even while we're resting, we can still be moving. So if you are running 2 miles, but had to slow down and walk several times throughout, that still counts towards this endurance. Though there's definitely something to be said about reaching ketosis, which I imagine hunter-gatherers do much more frequently. IIRC, humans have one of the most powerful systems of ketosis, and that most animals aren't efficient enough to keep moving while in that state. Meanwhile we can still keep up our usual pace. But you still don't need to be in a full run to take advantage of ketosis. It might be the difference between running 4 miles and 15 miles, but it can also be the difference between walking 10 miles or 50.

Sweating is uniquely powerful in humans but it isn’t unique to them. Fun fact dogs do indeed sweat. It’s just, very little. And not enough to cope with raising body temperature the way humans can.
I think you are right, not proof but I recall an old saying, "horses sweat, men perspire and women glow" :)

I gotta agree with 2:59 your take on physical stamina. It has greatly to do with mental willpower from my experience, almost as if it's a second backup source of energy, even after your body tells you "ok...that's enough now, you can--hey stop!" I'm no doctor, but would our intellect and self-awareness be a defining factor of our physical advantage? Being able to go beyond through mental fortitude where animals would just heed to their instinct to stop?
I love Zoo tier. It's amazing content
I think another and one of the greatest strengths/advantages that make the human so good is its ability to cook food (indirectly mastery of fire) because it allows for much faster and efficient energy gathering for development and for activities and more time to be productive etc.
PBS had a program once that posited the idea that what made humans OP was an accidental reduction in the size of the jaw muscle, that made it possible for the brain case to grow very large.
Human sweat is unique. Some animals like horses can sweat too but it's through a different type of gland. Horses secrete a different mixture and their main way of cooling down is still panting.
A sidecomment to the running argument: Atheltisism =/= High Stamina. Stamina is a very unique thing, people who might not look like it can sometimes run for absolute miles. My dad for example doesn't look like he's in great shape, but he can run 25km (decent tempo honestly), and Cycle for even longer. But stamina definetly is also a mental fortitude thing, but it's a thing thats uniquely developed by running and "being out of breath".
Tair Zoo is great and so was this reaction.
I read an article years ago that the main difference between apes/monkeys and humans, when it comes to strength and fine tuned dexterity, is in the neurological system. A chimps muscles aren't that much beefier then ours. But their nerves sends signals that favor explosive feats of strength. So they can rip you to pieces, no issue. But the tradeoff is they don't have the finger control for accurate delicate tool use. They have strength but we have the coordination. It was just one article, so no idea if it's true.

it's more the skeletal structure in the case of...well, almost all animals actually: muscles are much MUCH stronger than the tendons and bones they are attached to both in tensile strength and in the force that a muscle can produce. it varies a lot from person to person but assuming you are of average fitness you're probably limited to something like 5-7% muscle output at "I'm trying as hard as I can" and you're strong enough to start tearing your body apart at around 13%, considerably less in a bad position (common example: even at that ~6% your legs can lift ~1300 pounds, but your knees will tear themselves apart at ~700-900 even if they are in perfect condition) the only reason you have so much muscle on you is because it is a large part of your body's energy storage and energy processing. related tangent: contrary to popular belief birds are some of the densest animals on the planet because they pack on the muscle mass like nothing else, they also don't have "fragile bones" their bones are just specialized towards surviving the stresses of their own bodies.
Yuval Noah Harari, the author of Sapiens, did A Brief History Of Human Kind as a lecture series on Coursera back when Coursera was fantastic and free and not the money-grabbing monster it became. I think I may still have the videos somewhere.
Wait! I'm sorry, but did you just start the video without an obnoxious loud intro with stupid music or begging me to subscribe even before I watch the video?!? Your psychological trick just worked on me. Just subscribe lol
