savanna fools' thinking

My little little boy, do you really belive that because some savanna
dwelling humans (probably less than 1/1,000,000 of all hmuans) run after
kudus, our ancestors 2 Ma must have done that??
Savanna Fanatics are stupid stupid stupid.

Some SF:
In 10 million years of evolution, that's the best they can do?
They should have been out chasing kudus.

:-DDD

My little boy, kudu chasers have large mouths, long canines, digitigrady, no
SC fat, can run >60 km/hr, narrow thoraxes, pronogrady etc.



See "Physical Exercise as an Evolutionary Force" (JHE (1985) 14, 145-155) by
Bortz.

He cites contemporary examples (from other authors) such as:

- Bushmen can run down an unwounded springbok in the hottest
part of the day

- the !Kung can run down antelope

- Bushmen run down eland, kudu, and hartebeest

- Pygmies relentlessly chase prey

- the "extraordinary" running capabilities of American Indians
are noted
