I couldn't get myself to watch it, so it actually went well for Harris?

No one is running 450 km to hunt though.

Another factor is, with endurance hunting, you will need to carry the carcass back to home base. So let's take am antelope, which weighs 125 kg. You need the hunters to bring that all back to base, AFTER the multi kilometer hunt is over.

However, as far as portaging, women are very adept at that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-carrying

Olympic shooters would make the absolute worst hunters, have you actually seen them shoot? It's a test of hand eye coordination to hit a paper target.

Women have a higher pain threshold, and may be able to handle long distance endurance better. However, judging by existing tribal groups in Africa who still practice endurance hunting, that really isn't the case so it's probably bullshit.

A marathon is not a speed race. It is a 42 km endurance race, similar to endurance hunters would have done on, say, the plains of Africa.

The vast majority of people today would be unable to finish even a half marathon without collapsing due to utter and complete exhaustion.

Not true, the fight or flight response is an automatic response of the nervous system.

The fight-or-flight or the fight-flight-freeze-or-fawn[1] (also called hyperarousal or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival.

Well.. many of the younger women would be constantly pregnant back then, and engaged in communal child rearing. So they are going to be spending less time on mammoth hunts.

Ancient people's also worked way less than we do now.

Which is incorrect, because Google itself went like 15 years without showing any ads at all to like 5% of their users.
