          They mentioned that in Tiger King and I just chuckled thinking that was the source of your reference.

        Thats how we made it this far. Some absolute morons charge ahead and get themselves killed, while everyone else shakes their head. With some animals it works, surprisingly. Others we learn to keep away from- until the next moron feels like " hey, lets try that thing again!".

          I mean we basically successfully hunted every animal on the planet. Wouldn’t say it’s fair to call them morons

              Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.

              Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I’m very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.

              Look up cave bears for a treat.

            I mean, we likely also hunted every animal on the planet unsuccessfully and got killed by them.

            did any society ever rely on polar bears as a major food source? because to me, that would seem like the absolute last resort. Not an everyday-type activity, more something for the desperate or someone crazy. Then again, I’m not into stone age history.

              Surprisingly, yes. The Inuit have for generations.

              I was honestly expecting the answer to be that they would kill them in self defense, or if the bear was threatening a more sane food source, and eating it was only rational.

        Zoom in on my shirt, the ring around my neck is about the height and width of a gummy bear, or at least close enough to work as an average
