Absolutely. The idea that man would have spent huge amounts of energy running after game for miles (and having to carry it back for all of those miles) on a regular basis is silly. Other carnivores stalk their prey or lie in wait for it and it seems that man wouldn't have been any different. It takes a quick, short burst to run out and chuck a rock or spear after stalking up to get close enough to it. |
