  It’s weird that you specify “persistence” in relation to hunting. Why wouldn’t something that requires less calorie expenditure, like trapping be more notable?

    They’re probably referencing another greentext from the perspective of a fast sprinting Elk that can’t escape the long-distance persistence endurance of a bipedal human hunter:

      the fact you seem to imply that knowledge about primitive hunting strategies is a reference to a greentext gave me psychic damage

      is this not semi-common knowledge? Common among nerds at the very least

        It is common knowledge, I merely guessed they used that specific hunting strategy over other “food hacks” because this is literally a greentext community.

      This genetic dead end appears

      Never thought I would see/hear this sentence. Of course it would come from 4chan.

    Trapping wasn’t invented by humans. Spiderwebs exist. But no other species has the ability to run for as long as humans. We’re also one of the best species at throwing objects with precision

      What about wolves / dogs?

        Nope, dogs tire out faster than humans, assuming both are fit and average.

    Humans are better at running long distance than doing short sprints.

    Weird that you randomly got downvote bombed for asking a question. Lol.

    You can’t trap a mammoth, and a mammoth feeds the tribe for weeks

      It’s thought that the discovery could shed new light on how humans hunted mammoths, with archaeologists surmising that groups of 20 to 30 human hunters would have used torches and branches to separate individual mammoths from the herd, and steer them into the traps.
