I mean there’s proof we hunted dinosaurs to extinction, so yah, we hunted down all the big game. Indians hunted bison, most everyone hunted elk and deer, humanity grew up on meat.

Edit: Eskimo hunting freakin’ whales, every Nat Geo special on tribal peoples show them hunting for daily meat, arrowheads and napping knives and spears found in ancient caves…

Really? How did we do that when all dinosaurs (except the birds) died off ~65 millions of years before our species even began?

It’s a shame that HN doesn’t recognize a joke answer to a statement as silly as “do you really believe we hunted big game.”
