Back in those days especially during the time of the early homo-sapiens there are more ferocious beasts than humans there fore if the humans see that they are no match to the beast they must ran away fast.  The adrenaline rush is there and the stress can make the hands of the human be sweaty and this allows him to climb trees faster and escape.
