this right here is a true portrayal of human survival skills. Because of just how enduring humans are, an averagely fit human being can chase down just about any kind of animal if they're able to track the animal well enough.
this clip shows exactly how it's done. truly fucking amazing. i have a hell of alot more respect for tribes that still practice this form of hunting than the tribes that have 20 people chucking spears at one hippo.

Humans for the win! Something that most people don't realize is that humans are pretty much the most efficient land animals in the world when it comes to internal cooling thanks to our porous skin and lack of full body bush in short bursts many animals can out run us but in a long chase on a hot summer plain they often overheat before a fit man.

This is fucked up but I laughed at multiple points.
I think domestication might be preferable to this. Slaughtering animals can be done with the animal's ignorance up until the final second if you do it appropriately, say on a small scale.
I wonder if I could decapitate a pig in a single blow with a large axe? Probably so now that I think of it.
A guillotine would work well too.
Yeah, it's fucked up to us, but not to them. They live in a different culture and have different customs.

that spear throw at around 42 seconds into the vid is fucking epic, what a lead he had to put on the throw to connect with the kangaroo at that distance.

Im not by any means saying that it is fucked up to hunt the animals, at our roots that is what we are biologically engineered to do. We have to live even if it means those organisms below us must die. but at the same time, getting stuck by a shit ton of spears wouldnt be a very fun way to go out. sure they get fucked by hyenas and what not anyway, but that doesnt make either way less fucked up.
Its life

The Africans are indigenous or aboriginal to Africa, or if you like aborigines. I guess you just prefer blonde dudes.

This is exactly what I was referring to. Getting poked to death by a million dudes prolly sucks, a lot. Ever poked yourself with a pin or a small knife? Ouch.

People saying the bushmen are savages and primitive
There not the brightest but there still human and they know how to think pretty good I bet if you were to learn there language and sit down and listen to one of there stories that be pretty fuckin coherent. Like your any smarter cause you know a bit of math, chemistry and history. If you got thrown out in the bush you would wonder around and die.The little "marvels" of technology like that iphone that you didnt help at all with, that make you so cunning and modern. Wouldnt do jack shit to save your ass.

Well put, hahaha. First thing I would do if I was out there is try and find some locals and bribe them with my shiny useless technology in return for their protection.
