Do you believe we were persistent hunters in the past or is it a bunch of hogwash?

I don't doubt that our unique endurance was a key part of our survival as a species, but I would doubt the intentionality. I highly doubt the hunts were organized under this farcical "Terminator-esque" methodology. The idea that all of humanity would just non-stop chase an animal down until it died of exhaustion is nuts. It seems more likely that human tribes would harass a particular herd, following them and weakening the herd over the course of several days. It's not like it was a strategy they were trying to employ, it's just a mechanical outcome of what early hunts were.

If So Many Americans Care About Climate, Why Don’t They Vote Like It? 11.2 million. That’s the number of Americans who rank climate as a their top priority but didn’t vote in the 2024 US elections

y-yeah? You know he's not actually on the ballot right?

Unless you seriously believe that a Dem majority in both branches would result in impeachment proceedings which...they had four years to get his ass in jail, I don't think they'd even be able to remove him in two.

I've found that most of the time, just pick the most sexist answer you can think of, and you'll typically be right!

I really don't like gendered languages.
