    Sure. But you then need to show the data that supports those points

      Can you please show us what connects your data to being a success as an endurance hunter? Because “men hold more records running a specific distance faster than women do” is not in any way an indication of hunting success.

      Do you think Olympic target shooters make the best hunters when it comes to guns and bows?

        Another factor is, with endurance hunting, you will need to carry the carcass back to home base. So let’s take am antelope, which weighs 125 kg. You need the hunters to bring that all back to base, AFTER the multi kilometer hunt is over.

        However, as far as portaging, women are very adept at that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-carrying

        Olympic shooters would make the absolute worst hunters, have you actually seen them shoot? It’s a test of hand eye coordination to hit a paper target.

        I never said anything about exactly what makes a good hunter. I was making a counterpoint to the quote of the article
