    It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!.. ever… until you are dead!

    Yeah, that’s humans for you

      Because they have guns and humans don’t?

          The receiver is backwards and there are two ejection ports.

            The two ports are for faster shooting and the backwards reciever is for faster bluetooth connections.

      There is a man vs horse marathon since 1980, 35 kms/22 miles on rough terrain. There were 42 races, 4 times a human won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_versus_Horse_Marathon

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting Here is a starting point. :)

      https://www.science.org/content/article/born-run-early-endurance-running--may-have-evolved-help-humans-chase-down-prey

      Note, it’s a theory, so there are some arguments against it. :) Things are rarely black and white.

        Here is an article that shows some contra points to the theorie, in case you want to have a look at that too.

        The evidence for it is rather shallow, realy.

        It’s pretty clear that persistent hunting is one of those myths concocted by someone to justify a world view that humans are “more special” than animals and has no more scientific basis than the “science” coming out of the Disney movies in the 1950s about nature.
