"Blam, I did a google for "human evolution science running" and came up with quite a bit of interesting information about my theory that long distance running was a key if not THE key in the evolution of humans from other primates preceding and leading towards brain enlargement and technology. Take a look if you get a chance."

Don't need to. It's a known fact that humans have the most endurance of any of the other land animals.

If a human can stay on the track of a prey long enough, the prey will collapse of exhaustion before the human.

I believe it. It's just rare to find an article or book on human evolution which points that out or acknowledges how important that step was in our development history.

What if the human IS the prey - say bear vs you?

I'll bet on the bear, unless you carry a 12ga.
