I see all human traits here; bipedalism for efficiency; the lost of fur for more efficient sweating; imagination to track the animal and imagining the mind of the animal, giving rise to culture of respect for nature.

This is what humans evolved for, and this is the place where we came from.

[msu320]

You would likely be killing it from exhaustion.

Would you need a hunting license for this in the US if you simply wanted to prove you could catch something? I'm too tenderhearted to kill a deer, but wearing one down by chasing it sounds like an awesome achievement.

[ElBarto3131]

8 hours of running?! And here I'm complaining of sitting in an air-conditioned office for 8 hours.

[Annihilationzh]

"Calories and Fat"?

you seem to be suggesting that these are mutually exclusive...? Many vitamins and minerals, proteins and fats are essential to the survival of a human.

This is how you take an animal's life. With respect, dignity, and most of all, necessity.
