Literally how stupid are people to not read a bear encounter with a meager knife or rifle
It's not that simple either, against a predator like that you might have to sacrifice a hand in it's maw to get clean repetitive stabs to the chest, anything that will break it's ribcage and puncture something quickly

Persistence hunting is a myth. The calories used and need to drag the animal back to camp makes it pointless. It's a ritual right of passage for certain ancient tribes, but that's about it.

Only a few tribes in Africa did that. European hunters used blinds and forced their prey into traps.

You ommit the fact that humans build infrastructure to mitigate their lower stamina.
It's a trope for all literature before the train age that they had stables every x km of the road and changed horses if they needed to move as fast as possible.
Alternatively step tribes had 4-6 horses per warrior so they just changed them like that.

Aside from our gigabrains?
As was previously mentioned, we are the best endurance runners of all species
Also we can throw stuff really good (even chimpanzees struggle with that)
Not to mention walking upright (superior awareness and free hands) and opposable thumbs

There are drawbacks of course (back problems, problems with childbirth, children are born defensless because their head needs to grow etc)
But we beat ants in our share of terrafoming, and ants are a tough opponent to beat in that regard.
Only bacteria surpass us as far as I know.

It's the song about Russian civil war of 1918 sung by a chorus of pioneers (children about 12 yo) in 1960s or even 80s where they say stuf like:
"We are all unbridled heroes and all our life is a struggle"
"In intoxicating battle give us Warshaw, give us Berlin and then we smashed into Crimea"

Songs and other stuff like this was a part of people's lives since kindergarten.
