"And what evidence do you have Stu to state that "hunting" was the primary drive?"

You want me to give references? Read the literature, I gave you advice where to start (especially relevant are other primates). It's very easy to get hold of, but I'm not doing it for you T. Also, you might find there are no absolute answers out there, science is an ongoing process.


"Throughout the period you mention are you trying to say that competing groups of humans did not fight over territory? "

Strawman.


"Between your early date of 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 years ago our species and those we evolved from were scavenging omnivores"

This simply isn't true. Humans were active hunters for that entire time and still are. Every predator scavenges (who'd turn a free meal?), but we were and are very active hunters.


Anyhow, what has this got to do with toffs popping off countless farmed grouse, slaughtering hares, foxes and rare birds of prey?
