Fascinating. A group of marathon runners test an anthropological theory.

Ok, these guys pwn. I got winded just reading this sentence:

After running for two and a half hours, they log a 4:36 mile, according to their GPS. It's 94 degrees.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
Makes perfect sense to me. If I was as hungry as our ancestors likely were I'd keep that meat on the hoof in sight too.

Very cool. But any spear hunters or bow hunters would probably become de facto "persistence hunters" after they'd wounded their prey. I'm not sure this is any sort of evolutionary paradigm shift? I'd be curious to know more about the "scientific debate" the article mentions. "Persistence hunting" in its pure form doesn't really pass the sniff test. I don't know how they could have kept the prey in sight for hours on end.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

I read the McDougall book referenced in the article, Born to Run. It's quite a fascinating read if you're at all into running. Some people are freakin' crazy. I (along with a couple of friends) hiked a 10 mile trail yesterday in the blue ridges. We ran the last three miles in 30 minutes. I'm dying today. There are people who do that for 100 miles. It's unbelievable.
We're all mad here!
