I read or saw this so long ago and it just stuck with me, humans are built pretty terribly. Like yes we can get strong but even a pro weightlifter would get annihilated but a gorilla. However we can nuke that gorillas home or shoot it with a rifle cus our strength is intelligence. Also humans pretty much have an infinite stamina glitch so as long as whatever is hunting us isn’t able to catch up we can just kind of keep walking

Big brain + infinite stamina = world domination

Opposable thumbs and ability to vocalize a wide range of sounds also helped. Though with the brains, we probably would have figured out a way to communicate with more complexity than other animals regardless of the 2nd one.

And the mechanism for that infinite stamina also enabled our hands to be even more useful (and if I had to guess, bipedalism probably arose as a result of our ancestors wanting to hold things while they moved instead of that being an extra bonus).
