Try running XX hours after an antelope and report back, most animals aren't optimised for long distance, humans are, you can hunt most things by following them and waiting for them to collapse, surely having better air intake helps. It might be something as dumb as more antelope meat = more social points = you get to bang more.
Why do 70%+ of the world population has brown eyes ? It offer marginal UV resistance but nobody becomes blind or sterile because they have blue eyes, certainly not before they can reproduce. Chances of reproduction can also be dictated by other things like attractiveness, and these are also very dependant on cultures and time periods.
- DiscourseFan 2y agoIts more like if your tribe has access to more meat they can produce more offspring. I wouldn't think of this in terms of individual prowess.
- BurningFrog 2y agoPretty sure the best hunter gets the most kids on average.
- DiscourseFan 2y agoSource?
- BurningFrog 2y agoJust common sense. The guy who brings home the most food will have the most surviving children. He will also be very attractive to women.
- DiscourseFan 2y agoIt was also "common sense" not so long ago that the earth was the center of the universe. You're engaging with me disingenuously.
- BurningFrog 2y agoWe just have a disagreement. People can have different opinions than yours without being disingenuous.
- DiscourseFan 2y agoIt's disingenious to use "common sense" as your argument. If you wanted to seriously engage then you'd have to critically examine my argument instead of dismissing it with something you pulled from the hoi polloi of common opinion.
- olddustytrail 2y agoPretty sure the guy who's off hunting for days at a time thinks he has the most kids...
- capitainenemo 2y agoWell, at least one selection pressure for blue exists - modestly better vision in low light levels.

It seems logical & sensible & probable.
