PERSISTENCE HUNTING HOURS

21 comments

Humans (as others have said) evolved stamina for persistence hunting. Our prey were faster, but humans would run them down for days until the prey were too exhausted to go any further. This is literally the opposite of this meme.
It's true though, children cannot defeat cyborgs.
I see language is evolving as well. Or should I say, evolutionating?
Persistence hunting is incredibly overblown and an extremely inefficient use of calories.
- How so is it overblown? It's the only tool the the belt for early humans against much faster or much larger prey. As for inefficient use of calories, it seemed to persist as an effective method for over two million years, so evolutionary pressure decided that it was effective enough.

  Oh you think sweating is unique?
  What other animals can throw like a human and can craft weapons? Projectiles were the big leap not mindless running.
- I picture this being said by some nerd putting seeds into the ground while all the chads go out persistence hunting.
  
  More the chad with his spear that brings home a kill hours faster because he can actually throw.
