Intelligence is not the only physical attribute we excel in. Humans are frequently cited as the best endurance runners among the animal kingdom[0]. Some extant (and probably many prehistoric) tribes hunt via exhaustion, running down even large mammals until they collapse.[1] Humans also have excellent manual dexterity for tasks like grabbing, pulling and digging. Humans also seem to have better vision than most animals excluding birds of prey, with good performance across a number of attributes like color perception, depth perception, motion perception, etc.
