Humans rock at running. Reminds me of the man vs. horse race:

Our meat will never in our wildest dreams taste as sweet as the kudo's will to the hunter.

Psht. Nice Nike running shoes, "bushman." Totally fake.

zatojones - 2008-12-12 at first I was like "wow that looks difficult" and then i saw his sneaks i was like "shit imagine it's 1000 years ago and you're doing it barefoot"

Cap'n Profan!ty - 2008-12-12 As for the shoes, well shit, if you're gonna bring in one piece of technology, make it a good one. Fuck "The Gods Must Be Crazy," that's racist bullshit.

How does he get it back?
|
Mad Struggle - 2008-12-12 That's what the other two guys are for. He makes them carry it back, because he's the fucking MAN.
|
DerangedGoblin - 2008-12-12 But I mean they're way far back. Isn't he like miles away. Does he go back to them and then go back again to the animal and then go with them as they take it back? I'm not saying that's not the cas,e just that if it is, it's like 10 times more amazing to me.

These stars are for the "Meals Made Easy" microwavable dinner ads that perched aboved the video while I watched it, cruelly mocking the hunters' efforts with their promises of affordable, tasty meals in less than 5 minutes.

This kind of shit is amazing but makes me kind of sad.
Consider, we are to these guys as those little dogs in rich bitchs' purses are to dire wolves.

Awesome! I saw this clip in an anthropology class a couple of years ago but seeing it again was just as impressive.

I suppose I'll be called stupid for this, but I can't help but think that this is impressive in one way, and kind of silly in another.
Impressive for the obvious reasons, silly in that there have *got* to be better ways of hunting animals. Pursuing a way of life, fantastic, do that, but hunting in such an ineffectual way seems more like ridiculousness for the sake of itself.
-2 because Attenborough is taking such great pains to praise their methods that he in fact makes them look worse for it. 2:10, for example.
|
godot - 2008-12-13 Is it really ineffectual? They got their dinner, with no broken spear shafts or blades. This is is the way humans evolved to hunt: no other savannah animal is hairless and sweats profusely - those traits would bring swift death to any creature that couldn't make a water bladder.
Today. most of the San Bushmen live in welfare camps or work diamond mines, and generally wear used clothes bindled up by the Salvation Army and sold overseas. I think its marvelous that a few still had enough knowledge (at the time this was filmed) to document our ancestor's way of life.
|
NoCode - 2008-12-13 Ineffectual?! This dude can figure out where a kudu is just by thinking like a kudu. Western hunters need scopes and binoculars to track their game and they use bottled synthetic piss to (usually unsuccessfully) try to bring the game to them.
He got his kudu. Mission accomplished. The man is the shit.

Syd Midnight - 2008-12-14 You dickhead.. this is his job, this is how he eats, how his family eats. If he had a job at a gas station, and ran through a parking lot at some point, then maybe it would be.. no, even then it would be the most badass form of hunting ever done by any human being ever. Sic theses guys on a pussy like Ted Nugent. "Hunt contest. Bare handed."

The whole moment where he deduces which direction the kudu ran was amazing.
Also, there was something really poignant about the final moments of the kudu's life, the peaceful state it seemed to be in after it collapsed and the agony after the spear throw.
Not that I cried like a sissy watching, though, you sissies.

I had always thought of humans as physically weak and unremarkable compared to most other large animals. This clip is kind of a revelation because I now realize that, with my mostly-hairless body, abundance of sweat glands, bipedal gate and water-carrying hands, I am actually a superbly-evolved desert predator. I'm more awesome than I thought I was.
But I'm still nothing compared to this guy.
