Yes. Though not especially fast, our lack of fur allows us to dissipate heat more effectively than other animals and the ability to sweat keeps our body temperature in check. Research suggest that early man became very adept at running prey to exhaustion, making for an easy kill. This hunting technique was especially effective in the climate of equatorial Africa where herd animals would get heat stroke after 10 kilometers or so of an even moderate chase, while their human pursuers were still good to go. they can crap in the world (anywhere)
