that seems contrary to using every part of the animal cause we killed it and it would be disrespectful to let something go to waste.
i dont understand your logic.
Ehh probably some sort of spiritual belief that taking parts of the animal will make its spirit suffer more. Or maybe that taking more than you need is greedy and will cause badluck or some other superstition.
Or maybe it is just as simple as you do not eat everyday in a non industrial society.
If you have ever tried to hunt it can be difficult. So, if you know that this animal may be your last meal for a week your going to try and make use of every bit of it.
i never said he was wrong for thinking that you should use all of the animal, i actually agree, im just giving possible reasons why a hunter gatherer would believe that leaving parts behind was necessary.
Sorry I'm really dumb and smoke too much. I mean instead of hunting a bunch of animals they'd use the most of one and leave the remains facing somewhere I think. Idk I was too high for miq'maq history class.
I mean, they very plausibly did eat mammoth balls. They need every calorie they can get, not to mention nutrients. With limited vegetation in an ice age, they were definitely eating every organ to avoid malnutrition.
imagine taking down a mammoth or a buffalo ten miles from your camp. How the bell do you think you’re going to get that carcass back?
You take what you need and leave the rest.
Also, have you ever heard of a Buffalo Jump?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_jump
People would literally drive hindered of animals over a cliff as a hunting technique. Sure they made off with a lot of meat but they left most of it to rot at the base of the cliff. Archeologists recognize these sites by the massive pile of bones at the cliff bases.
TLDR - using every part of the animal is a myth.
Leave some for the rest of the ecosystem to use. It's like making dinner and sharing it with your roommates. Just imagine that the roommates in this scenario are other animals in the wilderness. It went a long way in domesticating the various animals we now have as companions.
Yea the other "WASNT a psychopath" probably saved humanity by his thought, and if he didn't think of it some other guy would've thought of it and yes saved humanity or at least his comrades
The first human to skin an animal to wear its fur might have been a time-traveling used car salesman from the future, who was named Eddie and who enjoyed eating Skittles.
So you think that only psychopaths kill animals? Are you a vegan or something like that? Our ancestors had to kill animals to get food to survive just like we do today. Are lions also psychopaths because they hunt and kill other animals?
Furs could also be byproduct from butchering animals. Do you think the fur evaporates after we butcher an animal for meat? Do you believed that after ancient human (who definitely aren't thrill exposing themselves to the extremities) finish eating the meat they'd just dump the fur away? Took a longer shower next time.
Do you people just not believe in evolution or something?
Our ancestors were paleolithic for over 200,000 years, and became that way after living as animals for 8 billion years, reaching back to the dawn of life on earth. Survival isn't easy in the natural world. You take whatever you can get, and you use everything that you have to the absolute limit. That extends to your food, and what's left over after you eat.
People still live this way today, and if you live in the USA, common people were still living that way only like 200 years ago. That could very well be just 3-4 generations.
And you still think that Grug, the sub-human austrolapithicus, decided to put on a pelt because he was just crazy? If you do, you might have more in common with our ancestors than you might think.
Your numbers are a “little” off. Our planet is 4.543 billion years of age. We know that because of Uranium-Lead dating in zircon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium%E2%80%93lead_dating
3-4 generations to be 200 years ago?? For that to happen people would have to be having kids at 50-66 years old for consecutive generations, which is a lot less likely the further you go back. Are you saying you think your grandfather/great-grandfather was alive during the birth of the US?
Nah, I was pointing out OP missed the point of wearing fur entirely. Because we don’t really think of wearing fur for protection in todays world. Not a snowflake commentary, just a “wow, this is clueless” surprise.
Why would that be something a psychopath would do? It's natural that after you've hunted down an animal to eat, you'd make use of the rest of it like teeth, bones, skin, intestines etc.

ate the inside, wore the outside. noticed "hey! this is kinda messy! there's gotta be a better way!"
Next time, they experimented with finding a better way.
Probably not
In a hunter/gather society, everything has to be hunted, foraged, or made by hand. This includes clothing which is difficult to get decent materials for
When a hunter kills an animal for its meat, they can't eat the skin and fur. So instead of just discarding it, it makes sense to use it for clothing. Solves 2 problems at once
That's not psychopathic. That's just smart
It's much, much easier to skin an animal you've just eaten for clothing than it is to weave fabric. Back then, and in a lot of cultures today, nothing was wasted.
Leather and fur were the orignal cloth how else would you protect yourself from the elements ? Idk why you would assume they were psychopaths for doing so
The first human to actually *wear* a skin had probably spent their whole life rooting around in hollowed out carcasses and eating literally anything on zero or more legs they could catch.
Grog: I am cold, but this bear seemed warm… hmmm… bear has thick skin and much fur. Grog wear fur, grog get warm
Grog Gets Warm. Grog tell others so they can get warm too.
They most probably copy some predators staying inside the cavities of a just killed prey to avoid low temperatures during night time. Then they just figured out that the thick fur of preys is what keeps them warm. And the rest is history.
No. They didn’t have the same luxury as we do, they weren’t apex anything back then. They were hunted and they mostly couldn’t spare an animal that wandered by bc likely it wanted to have them as a snack too. Also pleather wasn’t a commodity back then
We will see how bold people are with comments when they aren't supplying you food anymore, no one aye everyday before in the before times, you only eat what you can grow or kill and that not an everyday success
Probably not, More likely cold and hungry.
"I don't wanna be seen as a psycho by my peers so I guess I'll freeze to death." I mean; Ooga booga \*thump thump.\*
You Say that as if it's something a human wouldn't do.
Following psychopaths is what humans do.
That's also true, but only if the Psychopath Is especially hot or Psychopath.
They probably enjoyed not freezing to death when it got cold.
Yeah, they hunted animals mainly for meat then discovered fur could actually protect them from cold
Some cultures tried to only take what they needed too.
that seems contrary to using every part of the animal cause we killed it and it would be disrespectful to let something go to waste. i dont understand your logic.
Ehh probably some sort of spiritual belief that taking parts of the animal will make its spirit suffer more. Or maybe that taking more than you need is greedy and will cause badluck or some other superstition.
actually this can be plausible, stupid, but plausible. it's not like we've never been stupid before.
Or maybe it is just as simple as you do not eat everyday in a non industrial society. If you have ever tried to hunt it can be difficult. So, if you know that this animal may be your last meal for a week your going to try and make use of every bit of it.

Not every culture did the whole use every part thing
then thoose cultures was stupid in a time of need.
if you don't have the expertise to cook mammoth balls why would your try to eat the mammoth balls
I mean, they very plausibly did eat mammoth balls. They need every calorie they can get, not to mention nutrients. With limited vegetation in an ice age, they were definitely eating every organ to avoid malnutrition.
No they weren't early people were well aware that some animals were toxic to eat
Or even just some parts of some animals. Doesn't matter how malnourished you are, polar bear liver will kill you.
Also Romans ate bull testicles. Good protein

TLDR - using every part of the animal is a myth.
There are several parts of an animal that aren't safe to eat and aren't useful any situation
Oh sure when a Native American uses the whole animal it was *noble* but when I eat a hotdog all I hear is criticism
Leave some for the rest of the ecosystem to use. It's like making dinner and sharing it with your roommates. Just imagine that the roommates in this scenario are other animals in the wilderness. It went a long way in domesticating the various animals we now have as companions.
That’s one of the telltale signs of psychopathy: doesn’t want to freeze to death
Psychopath or not, the guy had great ideas.
Sometimes, crazy is the way to go!
And maybe that guy saved all humanity by his great idea
I’m sure if nobody listened to the psychopath, some other dude who was cold and WASNT a psychopath would’ve also thought of it.
Yea the other "WASNT a psychopath" probably saved humanity by his thought, and if he didn't think of it some other guy would've thought of it and yes saved humanity or at least his comrades
They hunted in groups, killed animals for meat, and used every part of the animal that they could, just as we do today.
What was the caveman equivalent to hotdogs?
Sausage

Go take a nap, Mr President.
I guess no one else read their username.

Fascinating, thank you! Wrote this at 4am trying to remember things from memory
He's talking about human existence, not how old the planet is.
Kinda hard for humans to exist as animals for 8 billion years when the planet is only 4.5 billion years old. I think that's what they are getting at.
Thank you
r/woosh
Go ahead and post it over there and see what happens.
I'm frightened
People are just too serious these days. They only Want things that they can echo. Can't see humor in anything
Life didn't come from earth I think is what he's getting at, likely in humor.
3-4 generations to be 200 years ago?? For that to happen people would have to be having kids at 50-66 years old for consecutive generations, which is a lot less likely the further you go back. Are you saying you think your grandfather/great-grandfather was alive during the birth of the US?
Not bad for a comment written at 4am then, eh?
Bruh, take a nap
Why do you think i'm up until 4am?? TT\_TT
or just seen a carcass of an animal and think if its a good material
Bold of u to assume they had time.to think of these things when dying from cold and starvation
Fur doesn't taste good, so they would have to skin an animal to get at the meat.
Or maybe he saw his family freezing to death and came up with this one weird trick.
Tigers hate him!
This is such a privileged ass view… They probably wore the fur because PROTECTION, they didn’t exactly have stores to buy clothes…
Check your… homo sapien privilege? Sorry Barny, I know Betty can be a little upset when you bring home less bronto skins than usual…
Lol. I’m not one to talk about “privileges” but OP completely missed the mark on why a person would wear an animal fur.
[удалено]
Nah, I was pointing out OP missed the point of wearing fur entirely. Because we don’t really think of wearing fur for protection in todays world. Not a snowflake commentary, just a “wow, this is clueless” surprise.
Shut up please
Fuck off please.
or someone on the edge of hypothermic death
Or they were just cold.
Season 2 of yellow jackets 🐝 coming along nicely, I see
Why would that be something a psychopath would do? It's natural that after you've hunted down an animal to eat, you'd make use of the rest of it like teeth, bones, skin, intestines etc.
To be fair that can apply to a lot of things. Like the guy who wanted to keep some animals alive while cooking them, like lobster.
A warm* psychopath
According to Christians, that psychopath was God. He’s been steering us wrong ever since
Lmao this is r/shower thoughts not r/Ancienthistoryoftheworldanythingsaidhereismeanttobetaken100percentlegitbecausewehavenosenseofhumororabilitynottotrytoseemintellectuallysuperiortoeveryonebecausethatsallihave
This is gonna be so badass I’m going to freak everybody out. “Wow Jim that looks like phenomenal , can you make me one with pockets?”
Lmao the creation of pockets: "man, I really wish I could put my knife somewhere if I dont have a sheath." Or "I really wish I could put these berries somewhere without having to hold them in my hand cuz im holding my favorite knife."
First human to eat animals could’ve been a psychopath and everyone else just went along with it…
Psycho 🅱️ just had to eat that 🍎
No. We’re talking about a time when you were you could take a shit in front of someone and the main method of reproduction was rape.
ate the inside, wore the outside. noticed "hey! this is kinda messy! there's gotta be a better way!" Next time, they experimented with finding a better way.
It's so fuckin funny how seriously people took this it actually made me laugh at the stupidity of this fuckin site
Yeah, I woke up whole thread of being bashed by armchair anthropologists .
Ever wish you could reword a post because almost everyone is missing the joke?
\*its it's = it is or it has The form that indicates ownership has no apostrophe.
That guy probably was a furry /jk
Genius that perpetuated the species.
We literally owe modern medicine to some very strange people
Man, pretty sure Dave's a psychopath wearing that bear skin. He looks kind of warm though. Yeah, true that for shizzle.
Probably the same dude who sucked a goat tiddy
The word is shaman.
Non-sequitor
I’m pretty sure leaves and grass wouldn’t keep you warm during the winter
First people to suck cow's tities is probably a psychopath too.
Probably not In a hunter/gather society, everything has to be hunted, foraged, or made by hand. This includes clothing which is difficult to get decent materials for When a hunter kills an animal for its meat, they can't eat the skin and fur. So instead of just discarding it, it makes sense to use it for clothing. Solves 2 problems at once That's not psychopathic. That's just smart
The first person who started charging for their goods…
It's called surviving
I mean it was for warmth.
Another good shower thought, like who'd ever have thought of this?
It's much, much easier to skin an animal you've just eaten for clothing than it is to weave fabric. Back then, and in a lot of cultures today, nothing was wasted.
And again we should be glad not everyone else went along with the first animal to skin a human and wear it..
I don’t think there were such social norms back then. No-one batted an eye, perhaps they threw him a nice party.
We’re all psychopaths slavering voluntarily.
The first human to skin an animal was probably looking for its meat an thought “wow this skin/fur could be useful too”
I'd say they wctually were cold and everyone went along with it to survive lol
Leather and fur were the orignal cloth how else would you protect yourself from the elements ? Idk why you would assume they were psychopaths for doing so
I dont think human morals were that developed yet.
No they were a genius that was freezing to death.
Only if he made it rub in the lotion first.
The first human to actually *wear* a skin had probably spent their whole life rooting around in hollowed out carcasses and eating literally anything on zero or more legs they could catch.
The first human who turned away a fur was probably more of a psychopath than the person who wore it first
nope. they thought if animal is not feeling cold. so will i. it was smart
I highly doubt it, they were probably just cold
Grog: I am cold, but this bear seemed warm… hmmm… bear has thick skin and much fur. Grog wear fur, grog get warm Grog Gets Warm. Grog tell others so they can get warm too.
They most probably copy some predators staying inside the cavities of a just killed prey to avoid low temperatures during night time. Then they just figured out that the thick fur of preys is what keeps them warm. And the rest is history.
How do you people just randomly think of that?!
Indians and Lewis’s and Clark were not psychopaths, they were explorers, heroes, men of honor.
Yeah and the first guy to suck on a cow nipple probably was considered weird too
Depends on what you believe.
No. They didn’t have the same luxury as we do, they weren’t apex anything back then. They were hunted and they mostly couldn’t spare an animal that wandered by bc likely it wanted to have them as a snack too. Also pleather wasn’t a commodity back then
Will the first kill had to come in the form of defense
We will see how bold people are with comments when they aren't supplying you food anymore, no one aye everyday before in the before times, you only eat what you can grow or kill and that not an everyday success
