Ancient survival hunting vs leisure hunting

As farming & herding started, ancient era's survival hunting trying to feed the entire tribe disappeared. Leisure hunting is different from the ancient hunting like how fishing with a fishing rod is different from the actual fishing done by the fishers at seas. For fishing, both survival version (life occupation) & leisure version (hobby) are going on today. For hunting, only the leisure version exists today as the ancient survival version was dropped after farming & herding got started.

The main difference is that leisure hunting uses only bow or gun (other than multi-purposed hunting knife) whilst ancient survival hunting used any weapon including melee weapons which were used both for throwing & for melee usage such as slashing & plunging. Melee weapons were used in survival hunting even after bows were invented (in fact, up to the bronze age). ^[1]

Quoting from BBC on professor Trenton Holliday, "professor Trenton Holliday can identify a clue in the BBC Neanderthal - he was much stronger on the right side than on the left, and his right forearm was particularly powerful, demonstrating a very powerful grip. To see how this muscle development might have related to hunting, Professor Steve Churchill, from Duke University, US, carried out another experiment. By fitting a metal pole with stress sensors, he could determine what force each arm was delivering when the pole was thrust into a pad. It turns out that this action could explain the muscle development identified in the skeleton. So Neanderthal was an ambush hunter; waiting in a forest for his prey to stray close, and then attacking with a thrusting spear. Neanderthal was possibly the most carnivorous form of human ever to have lived." ^[2]

I got this article in my Suggested Edits feed as one with the "Expand Short Article" task. Clearly that's in error. How are articles tagged with Suggested Edits? I'd like to fix this one, or at least understand how ones like it might be fixed in the future. King Crab Kid (talk) 22:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The image shows a 0.40 S&W hollow-point round [1]. It's a nice photo, for sure, but this cartridge is used in pistols for law enforcement or home defense, not for hunting. A hollow-point would be a poor choice for hunting, given unfavorable aerodynamics and the likelihood of having scattered bits of lead that would need to be picked out before cooking the meat. Pistols also lack the long-range accuracy of rifles.

A better illustration of a lead bullet would use a cartridge for a typical hunting rifle, perhaps a 0.30-06 Springfield or 6.5 Creedmoor.

More to point, however, would be an image of lead shot, as historically used for hunting waterfowl. Pellets ended up in the water, and environmental problems followed. Lead shot was banned for waterfowl in the US in 1991, but can still be used for other kinds of game.
