    There is very little evidence for the idea of persistence hunting ever beeing a thing.

    Despite the idea’s foothold in popular culture, however, there is no hard evidence that ancient humans were persistence hunters, much less that persistence hunting shaped evolutionary traits. In fact, what evidence there is doesn’t support the notion that early humans acquired their meaty meals through feats of running endurance; it flatly contradicts it.

      Nice, I like you. You stick to the point. So many of these comments are just people getting butthurt about hunting in general.

      I do apologize that I haven’t done enough research on the topic and I can’t really engage in the conversation further. I hope you have a wonderful day.
