You are hilarious!
That's not the way any humans hunted.
Well, any successful ones...
Where do you get these crazy theories?
.Wow.
It's being taught in anthropology classes, and there have been many articles about this over the years. Here is one:

"For one possibility, they cite previous research by University of Utah biologist David Carrier, who hypothesized that endurance running evolved in human ancestors so they could pursue predators long before the development of bows, arrows, nets and spear-throwers reduced the need to run long distances."
Which schools are teaching this balderdash?
Just a common sense hint...go out and try to catch a wild animal by chasing it down.

I'm not asking you to think before you post, that'd be too much to hope for. Instead, will you just not post?

There are tribes in Africa that still use this technique. It's probably more effective in the savanna of Africa than in the forests of Europe or North America.
That's known as "persistence hunting" and is accomplished over the course of several days.
This is quite different than the "sprint and catch" boloney that others have promoted.
It's kind of like Pepe Le Pew - except when he catches up to you, he kills and eats you.Humans are not the fastest animals, but we evolved to be very efficient at long distance running - no fur, and sweating keeps body temperature in check while chasing an animal across the african savanna until it collapsed from exhaustion and the humans have plenty of steam left.

i think were more carnivorous likely we adapted to plants cause our earliest ancestors weren't as physically adept at catching enough prey to feed a family healthily until we were able to make weapons. plus greens are easier to get and use less energy to find and eat than chasing down a herd.
Grains were farmed to feed more people than hunting and gathering could feed. Grain replaced a lot of our diet because it's easy to feed society with it. All I can say is, I have cut back my carbs, cared less about fat and cholesterol and have lost almost 50 lbs since January 1st. I'm 206 from 250. I feel better and all of the tests my doctor has ran have turned out excellent.
our earliest ancestors didn't farm. By the time we did, we were well adapted physically to eating both. Meat is a time consuming, energy costly thing to do bare handed, likely insects were the main form of meat back then.
And of course, it's easier to store grain without refrigeration. Though I guess there are other ways of prepping meat for long-term storage.Grains were farmed to feed more people than hunting and gathering could feed.

Pescetarian is a great diet, that's what Jack Lalanne was and he would have trashed all of us combined even at 90 years old
I don't think anyone said what you think they said. All the support has been for persistence hunting, no one said we sprint and catch animals.
I thought that is what pOnd was inferring.
If not, sorry; my mistake.
Rofl, fucker was wearing sneakers.
Some recent theories have been suggested that the reason we began to farm grains instead of just eating them when found, was in order to make beer.Grains were farmed to feed more people than hunting and gathering could feed.

Damn, now I want some beef jerky.
(That's assuming you can keep mice away from the grain. If that fails, you might as well just switch to mouse farming.
1) Store wheat.
2) Let a lot of mice get into the storage area.
3) Pour the whole mass into a blender.
4) Add yeast.
5) Cook.
6) Mouse burgers with integrated buns.)
