The endurance running hypothesis is a series of conjectures which presume humans evolved anatomical and physiological adaptations to run long-distances and more strongly that "running is the only known behavior that would account for the different body plans in Homo as opposed to apes or australopithecines". The hypothesis proposes that endurance running played an important role in enabling early hominins to obtain meat. The promoters of the hypothesis have suggested that endurance running would help hominins compete for animal carcasses or even with persistence hunting.
