A thousand pop-sci anthropology hacks and TERFs just felt a disturbance in the force 🫡

The thing about ancient hunting is that it was endurance hunting. That's what makes humans so vastly more capable hunters than anything else out there: we can sweat, and therefore we can chase an animal for miles on end. Most animals don't sweat, and they can't run long because of it, they overheat and collapse.

It's a total myth that "depth perception" played any role or even that women have somehow worse depth perception than men. Women can run just as well as men.

@Itty53 @Daojoan Wait, what? The vast majority of mammals sweat.

My understanding was that our endurance was due to our mental capacity to plan long-term and remain focused above our base instincts and push ourselves beyond normal limits for the expectation of a reward.
