Hunter-gatherers typically have babies every three years, nearly twice the rate of apes.

"Humans are comparatively poor athletes on land as well. The world's speediest humans can sprint about 23 miles (37 kilome-ters) per hour for less than half a minute. For most of us plodders, such speeds seem superhuman, but numerous mammals, including chimps and goats, easily run at twice that speed for many minutes without the help of coaches or years of intense training. I can't even outrun a squirrel"
