This guy sleeps for, like, 16 hours. Runs. Shits. And sleeps again.

No way he’s up to spec. I get maybe…11 hours of sleepy time like a normal human but 16 hours? What the fuck, companion malfunction.

    Persistence hunting is relatively rare and it's also rare for hunting to account for a significant portion of a group's diet. I don't see it playing a huge role in evolution

      Human persistence hunting is how humans do their predator stuff though

        It's one of the ways. Homo Erectus would have also been capable of building traps and gathering bugs, practices which wouldn't have left an archeological record.

        Homo sapiens shoulders also are able to throw. This suggests spear hunting has existed as long as humans have.

          What do you mean, homo sapiens have fingers perfectly suited for typing. This suggests that typing memos for a paycheck was the primary form of hunting as long as homo sapiens have existed.

            Okay but there's also spears in the record older than homo sapiens. Also the evidence for persistence hunting is the same, it's literally "humans are uniquely anatomically suited to it and some humans do it therefor..."
