When you compare humans to chimpanzees, we do have a very clear specialization-- endurance.  We do not have half of the strength of a chimpanzee, but we can jog!

We are the reverse cheetah.  I cannot imagine how it must have tasted, loaded with fatigue poisons, but early humans hunted by chasing an animal until it could no longer run.  It would just stand there after a thirty mile chase over ground with no hiding place, as the hunter walked up and smashed its skull in.

It also allowed us to ride horses.
