If you ever again see someone claim that hominids on the savannah might have
prevented Lion attack by throwing rocks, refer them to the video below.
Warning: because the humans have high-powered rifles, this video has some
portions that may be troubling to those who respect animals, and the same
site of origin has other videos that demonstrate amply how helpless we are
against lions...in the worst possible way. I strongly suggest that those not
be watched at all.

Facing the Lion: by Maasai Warriors
How do Maasai warriors hunt lions?
...
Lion hunting is an ancient practice that played an important role in the Maasai
culture.
...
The Maasai believe that females are the bearers of life in every species. As a such,
it is prohibited to hunt a female lion ...
...
It is not easy to hunt a lion alone. However, a majority of Maasai warriors have
done it.
...
Fighting a lion inside intensely vegetated area can be extremely dangerous. The
lion is as smart as men, and can maneuver through the bushes faster than a human
being. For this reason, the Maasai warriors prefer to fight lions in the open
plains. This is the best decision to make and best place to be. By doing so, the
warrior would give a lion a chance to fight. Lion hunting is all about challenging
another creature without cheating. Facing a lion in the open savanna is a memory
of a life time!
...
The warriors do not need to attend a gym, and do not need a rifle for lion hunting.
All you need is one spear and one shield. Keep in mind that many warriors have been
lost to lions.
...
...
Facts about lion hunting by warriors
Imagine having a lion three meters away from you! Hunting a lion with a spear and
shield is an experience of a lifetime.
