Ah, yes, the hot savanna of... Wales.

Persistence hunting relies on overheating animals and this writer uses a Welsh event for their dunk, plainly showing they have no idea what they’re talking about.

Also, horses are in the club of animals that are unusually good at long distance running, so even if that were in a hot savannah, it wouldn't show anything.

It's like pitting humans vs chimps in a tool-using contest, observing that the humans almost always win, and concluding that chimpanzees can't use tools

I'm not a generic scientist or whatever but haven't we also selectively bred horses for better endurance?


Also I've never lost a single fight with a chimp or a cobra.

The first hit on Google is "Does persistence hunting exist? Probably not and here's why" so :shrug:

oh yeah, undark.com, you should definitely take scientific advice from them

Here's a book from a Finnish art researcher about it.

https://aaltodoc.aalto.fi/bitstream/handle/123456789/26894/isbn9789526037301.pdf

There's another Finn who wrote extensively about southern Namibian persistence hunting after he jumped ship from the Dutch East India Company in 1775, Hendrik Jacob Wikar.

Believe it or not, the fact that these two sources are Finnish is a complete coincidence.

Also the article freely admits that humans have won twice, which means modern day humans who weren't raised to be persistence hunters went up against the animals that are probably the prey least suitable to be hunted like that and in a climate not conducive to it and still won 5% of the time. That's an argument in favor of the tactic rather than against.

This is a pretty boring derail but don’t pull the ripcord on your emergency dildos just yet. I can explain why Jerry was confused. Jerry Cotton is a babbling toilet gorilla that gained an unreasonable facsimile of sentience over 40 years ago. The day that he crawled out of the sewer is remembered as the day that all theistic religion was proven incorrect, because he is a bigger mistake than any god could ever make. His primary language is nationalism, but he also speaks fluent dipshit. Studies suggest that it is the greatest desire of all conscientious beings that Jerry set himself alight and gently caress off forever, but as of yet there is no sign that this will ever happen. He has the endurance of a fart in the wind and assumes all other people do too. He could be run down by a lethargic snail. Bless
