Thanks Marc, but as you can see, kudu hunting/scavenging on the
savanna occurred earlier in the course of human evolution than
whaling, making kudus more important.

"Spatially associated zooarchaeological remains show that hominids
acquired meat and mar-
row by 2.5 million years ago and that they are the near contemporary
of
Oldowan artifacts at nearby Gona. The combined evidence suggests that
be-
havioral changes associated with lithic technology and enhanced
carnivory may
have been coincident with the emergence of the Homo clade from
Australo-
pithecus afarensis in eastern Africa."

Yes, thanks a lot, my little boy, yes: all waterside.
We knew this, my boy, now back to your play.

Kudu are aquatic? :D
