Many prehistoric Australian aboriginals could have outrun world 100 and 200 meters record holder Usain Bolt in modern conditions.

Yeah, but they didn't have motorcycles, Big Macs, or the internet back then.

What's the point in being able to run that fast if you have nothing worth running to? A semi-raw chunk of boar leg just isn't worth a four minute mile.

How do we know the Australian aboriginals were not running away from something? The Anthro professor assumes they were chasing prey. Adrenaline can do some crazy shit to a human.
