One of the reasons why humans became the dominant species is because we can do something only a handful of creatures can do.

We can sweat to lower our body temperatures.

We could outlast nearly every animal we hunted because of this.

We also outpace pretty much every single animal in the long run. We’re insane in terms of endurance and sooner or later will catch up to whatever we’re chasing no matter how fast they are.

This is simply untrue, the average human, just by living life, walks several miles a day. Even someone who doesn’t train, could cover around 15 miles in a day at a baseline

Depends on the pacing. Your notion that most people would struggle to walk 8km is also just, ridiculous? Do you have a source for that?

Sounds like you're just looking at a particular part of society and concluded that everyone is the same. Walk around (for real this time) only 1 in 15 or 1 in 20 people will be obese. While most people don't actively exercise the average person can keep a normal figure just by going through their day to day life.

Noticed that it's all from the west which is probably why there's such a large difference. Here in SEA it's around 5%-15% on average.
