Message: <blockquote data-quote="Son of the Serpent" data-source="post: 7920503" data-attributes="member: 7015476">i would actually assume elves have the ultimate stamina (as far as being a persistence predator).  also, even without tool use humans would be the most deadly predator on the planet just on the merit of how good we are at being a persistence predator alone tbh.  even without group cooperation.  our persistence tactic along with our extreme endurance is that good with absolutely no exaggeration involved.  its pretty insane.  to non-human land animals we are practically inexorable.  perhaps the reason why certain animals flee from us so much more readily than from other animals is because for the longest time one of the only half decent ways to avoid being eaten by a human has been to leave the area before the human has noticed your presence.  even that only works if the human isn't actively tracking you too because our biological equipment for tracking isn't exactly the best but its pretty good, a very long list of usable biology for tracking perceptually speaking (no actual dump stat senses) and because our brain allows us to track very intelligently (making it difficult to remove the trail completely due to the combination of the brain, decent senses, and wide range of decent senses)case in point.  most people assume that canines have a better sense of smell because we use them to track a lot of things.  not true.  our sense of smell is far better in literally every single measurable way save for one.  canines can sense a scent at a lower threshold and only slightly lower.</blockquote>
