    Group of hominins carrying domeshields & spears well defended!

    Kortlandt's 1980 "How might early hominids have defended themselves
    against large predators and food competitors?" still has much that's relevant.

    Sometime when I'm more bored than usual I should go look for the full paper...

    What does it say about defense of vulnerable members during sleep? That's critical.

    What does it say about defense against flying biting disease-bearing insects?

    Does it describe the predator-prey relationship which developed between Homo and other faunal competitors for fallen foods on the forest floor(monkeys, antelope, swine...)?

    Read it and find out ;)
    Almost certain those 3 questions are not addressed. They never are.


    I've not seen the full paper. Have you?

    I've not walked on the moon, but I think there's no forests there.
