time traveler (results)
I don’t know what I expected.
Y'all know that we don’t actually NEED a lot of people to hunt the mammoth, and they don’t need to do it very often, right?
Like, that’s really more of a “small, specialized band of hunters” task than a “turn out the whole damn clan” type of task.
Plus a single mammoth has so much meat and other useful materials. I think we’ll be fine.
#poll currently has 10% of us risking life and limb for meat and 90% on other activities which sounds right to me!#IIRC that is the proportion of hunting to gathering that many societies have had#we have way too many freeloading time travelers though#at least carry my basket full of roots berries and assorted herbs and mushrooms won’t you
Exactly! The problem isn’t the hunters, it’s those darn time travelers! Least they can do is carry stuff and maybe bring us some sweet presents from the future.
