Yup - our ability to store large amounts of glycogen, sweat and long legs are very likely to be evolutionary traits that made it easier to hunt by chasing after animals without these traits and tiring them out to the point they cannot escape

fwiw "We suggest that increases in eccrine function are not dependent upon increased physical activity or reduced body hair. Therefore, enhanced sweating capacity may have evolved in Australopithecus or even earlier hominins, driven largely by climate. The additional increase in modern human sweating capacity evolved later, concurrent with long distance walking and running." page 40

So when we look at a "primate family tree coloured based on sweating ability" …?
