That's a pretty brutal selection mechanism. How fast and far can you go while slowly starving with your tribe in tow...

I wonder if it's not only the "brutal" aspect.

Maybe it's generally an advantage when it comes to exploration, e.g. finding new places to settle. Or maybe it's specifically an advantage when hunting, as in endurance hunting.
