Unlike most animals, which either sit and wait to ambush prey or use stealth and pursuit techniques, human hunters use a wealth of information to make context-specific decisions, both during the search phase of hunting and after prey is encountered. Specifically, information on ecology, seasonality, current weather, expected animal behaviour and fresh animal signs are all integrated to form multivariate mental modules of encounter probabilities that guide the search and are continually updated as conditions change.” Either this means that, as a hunter, I'm a very evolved individual, or I'm a Neanderthal; I'm not sure which.

I think he is trying to say they were very good at killing things. I guess that makes all of us in the Red States Neanderthals. I can live with that!

All the deer hunters I know just "sit and wait to ambush prey". The only education needed is for earning enough to pay for the rifles (muzzle loading and centerfire), the compound bow, all-weather heated deer stand and 4-wheeler to ride to the stand and haul out the carcass.
