It’s weird that you specify “persistence” in relation to hunting. Why wouldn’t something that requires less calorie expenditure, like trapping be more notable? Or if not trapping, then projectile weapons.
Trapping wasn’t invented by humans. Spiderwebs exist. But no other species has the ability to run for as long as humans. We’re also one of the best species at throwing objects with precision
iirc dogs do out perform humans but only in cold climates. They’re also second place in general which is a big part of how the whole dog thing got started.
It’s thought that the discovery could shed new light on how humans hunted mammoths, with archaeologists surmising that groups of 20 to 30 human hunters would have used torches and branches to separate individual mammoths from the herd, and steer them into the traps.
They’re probably referencing another greentext from the perspective of a fast sprinting Elk that can’t escape the long-distance persistence endurance of a bipedal human hunter:
It is common knowledge, I merely guessed they used that specific hunting strategy over other “food hacks” because this is literally a greentext community.
Farming is the second game breaking exploit discovered by humanity, after persistence hunting.

Humans are better at running long distance than doing short sprints.

What about wolves / dogs?
Nope, dogs tire out faster than humans, assuming both are fit and average.

I guess that makes sense, them having warm coats and all
You can’t trap a mammoth, and a mammoth feeds the tribe for weeks

Never thought I would see/hear this sentence. Of course it would come from 4chan.
the fact you seem to imply that knowledge about primitive hunting strategies is a reference to a greentext gave me psychic damage
is this not semi-common knowledge? Common among nerds at the very least

Weird that you randomly got downvote bombed for asking a question. Lol.
