So I inflicted episode-2 of the series on
myself, despite knowing what to expect,
and sure enough there were a couple of
real boners.  The most obvious was the
whole "Persistence Hunting" -- i.e.
"Endurance Running."

Now I'll explain this in terms so simple that
even you will be able to grasp it, but your
astounding array of mental illnesses will
of course send you into a rage, causing you
to auto-post something you know to be
untrue but you "Feel" just as strongly about
it as you would if it were true, so that makes
it okay... or something like that.

Anyhow, the myth is that "Persistence Hunting"
-- chasing after prey until it drops/gives up
from exhaustion -- is what lead us to evolve into
"Endurance Runners."  We are, after all,
evolved as runners... or so the myth goes.

But we'd have to be endurance runners FIRST.

Get it?  We'd have to be endurance runners
FIRST in order for endurance running to have
shaped our evolution.

Understand?

We had to already be runners -- we had to have
already evolved this "Endurance Running" ability --
to be engaging in persistence hunting in the first
place.

THEY HAVE THE TAIL WAGGING THE DOG!

They have the same dog-wagging going on with
fire.  They posit that fire allowed our ancestors to
live on the Savanna because the fire scared away
the predators.  And it also formed us into cohesive
units -- families/tribes -- because we all gathered
around it to cook our meat (which we gathered
through persistence hunting) and for protection.

....but we'd have to already be on the meat diet
(hunting i.e. "Endurance Running") in order to start
cooking our meals.  And we had to already be living
in such groups to be gathered there in the first
place. So we had to already be doing
what allowed us to do it!
