    Can’t we just, you know, ask hunter gatherers how they do it?

      We can, sort of.

      Not really, as I don’t think any currently remaining hunter-gatherers practice persistence hunting? But in the very loose sense that a lot of anthropology does indeed rely on studying some modern hunter-gatherers.

      Isn’t it wild to think there are still a few uncontacted tribes which are classified as hunter-gatherers (although they’re partly pastoral and horticultural)?
