“losing”
Comment on All downhill from there
squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoContrary to modern-day physics, the “persistence hunting” thing is very much not a scientific consensus. It’s more of a fringe idea supported by hardly any science that somehow made it into popular science.
There’s about as much credible evidence to that theory as there is to the theory that eating chocolate helps with loosing weight.

Wikipedia politely labels persistence hunting as “conjecture”. It’s interesting that pretty much everything important from our ancestral past (e.g. fire-making, flint-napping tools, spears, skins and furs etc.) can be and regularly is reproduced by modern people. But somehow you never see modern people jogging down deer and killing them - even with the benefits of modern footwear, portable water containers, and GPS trackers.

Thank you chicken lady. That makes much more sense.
