humans are the most busted glass cannon build in evolutionary history
we completely dumped strength, speed, natural armor, claws, fangs basically everything that makes other animals dangerous in melee and went ALL IN on the cognition stat and then we invented Throw Rock No Jutsu
which doesn't sound like much until you realize the entire history of human weapons technology is just iterations on "throw rock":
sharp rock
sharp rock on stick
sharp rock on stick you can throw
bendy stick that throws smaller sharp sticks
rock but it explodes
rock but it explodes and goes really far
rock but it explodes from orbit

BUT we didn't just invent ranged combat, we invented KITING
like the actual gaming concept
persistence hunting was just follow animal at a jog for six hours throwing things at it until it dies of exhaustion
we were keeping aggro and maintaining distance while applying DoTs before games existed
no other animal figured this out
we are the OG kiting class
we looked at the meta and said 'what if I simply never let you touch me' and then took over the planet
bears spec'd into melee. they never stood a chance

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe there is some speculation that persistence hunting might have arisen as early as Homo Erectus; so there is a good chance that we (H. sapiens) did not invent it, but some other earlier hominid. It’s true that our longer legs make us better at it than any previous hominid.
The real cheat code of H. Sapiens is probably our over developed chat features and thus the ability to transmit skill progression. This could have allowed us to beat out other classes like the now removed Neanderthal and Denisovan classes that were introduced around the same time.
