    if your question was based on the actual experience of lifting both, then your experiment was flawed...a 150 lb person (providing they are unconscious) is FAR more difficult to move around due to the "drag" effect of lifeless limbs and such. You simply can't find a "centered" point that you can lift that will keep the weight distributed evenly, and instead, flop around.

    Because it's more awkward to carry a human, where a lead ball is consolidated and most likely smaller.

    A small object of the same weight as a larger one seems heavier because of the compactness.

    Lead is denser than the human body.

    heaviness is a feeling. 150lb of human feels equally heavy as 150lb of lead.
