How did primitive humans, with a top speed of 28 mph, hunt large mammals like deer, bears, wolves, etc, that can reach speeds of near 35 – 40 mph?
In: Biology
The short answer is we just kept walking after them following the trail of their hoofprints/pawprints, and eventually the animal in question would exhaust itself trying to get away. That’s when the tribe of humans would strike as one and bring down the animal.
This is a tactic called pursuit predation.
