I was under the impression that -
Early humans had to run very fast for long distances to catch prey, which meant big bodies were out of the question.
The bigger body requires more food meaning smaller people have an advantage.
How would a large say 6'4" 90kg male survive as a hunter ? How could he run fast enough for long enough and survive ?
I am intrigued that the earliest humans were tall, does anyone know how tall the would have been ? Surely no where near the size of modern humans ?
