Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we’re doing it wrong.

    I would think it’s safe to assume that a pursuit predator like us or our ancestors would at least piss while running, no?

          Care to elaborate your initial statement? It doesn’t make sense, if you think just 5 seconds about it. Humans hunt in groups, and the point of endurance hunting is not to be very fast. It’s absolutely no problem, if a single member literally pisses of for a minute.

            I was thinking it would be more convenient if the group didn’t have to stop and wait for someone to piss. Even stopping for 5 minutes would potentially mean another half mile of ground that could be covered that day.

              If you’re taking 5 minutes to piss, you won’t make any ground anyway.

              If a group hunts, one guy can stop for a minute and just catch up with the rest.

              Also, that mode of hunting doesn’t involve covering ground in the sense of moving somewhere, the goal is to exhaust the prey, that could be done within a circle of 1km. Or 20km.
