Humans recognize they need to carry water (and have the means to do it) for long chase. They can organize themselves, chase prey for a few miles, then hand off to the next guy who will chase, in hopes the next guy will return the favor at some future time and chase a tired antelope your way. Then share the meat afterwards. Always share the meat with the guy who chased it your way.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">spike<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
