Facts? This is the internet! [Insert T'Challa "we don't do that here" meme]

Thanks for reminding me to check my knowledge before regurgitation. I first heard of persistence hunting in a college class but there's no more reason (well, not much more anyway) to believe some random college professor than the internet without actual research :-)

I get such deep nostalgic, emotional vibes from this! I'm from Germany, but I visit the Netherlands every year since I was a kid, usually the Bergen / Alkmaar region, and also Hoorn when I was younger. You really captured the spirit within so few pixels perfectly! I absolutely love it.

Not sure how you got that out of my answer. I openly stated that I am incapable of telling it to you properly and that I lack the proper patience to do so. I was just suggesting that you look into it because I find it pretty interesting, and I feel that most people have some misconceptions on the topic. Cheers though.

Edit: Let me be clear I’m not saying persistence hunting is not real. I’m just saying that the idea most people get of simply running behind an animal for a long time is not exactly the right idea.

Im gonna make this simple since you gave me a "fuck you" answer.

We had to chase on foot, we had pointy sticks (eventually as we where not born with the knowledge to make them) and we are still here as a species so what we did must have worked.

Since you have no evidence other than (not sure it happened on the regular) suggests it did happen some times AND it doesn't explain how we hunted without weapons.

So imma stick with video evidence rather than a couple studies without evidence because they cannot find evidence of people running (not suprising really).

Also hunters likely had to chase prey to corner it before throwing spears or chase a wounded animal, so yes chasing would have been a large part of hunting, like treking through a forest looking for something to shoot.

I’m sorry but I really cannot explain it to you adequately, nor do I have the patience to do so. However, I would highly recommend reading into it! A lot of people assume that persistence hunting was something humans regularly engaged in and had high success with even though it’s really only hypotheses. Such is not the case.

Orangutan is actually a combined word :

Orang = people
Utan = forest

Orangutan = Forest people / people of the forest.

Soooo... your comment should be "dickutan",...i think.
