I understand 'endurance predator' means one that can keep on running. There are lots of ways a predator can become dangerous to prey, or how prey can defend themselves. One human strength in the hunter-gatherer era was long distance running. We're good at marathons. There are lots of species who can out sprint us, but if we can keep to the trail there aren't a lot of species that can keep going for the long haul.
Dogs are one of them. Like us, dogs are pack hunters, and their scent scent allows them to follow many a trail that humans would lose. Humans with any sort of weaponry, be it as simple as thrown rocks and clubs, can do the killing part well. For a time, that strategy and team was impressive.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
