"How humans became the best throwers on the planet" by Michael Lombardo and Robert Deaner
And so humans evolved in a sense of using throwing as a life skill and as a way to stay alive and dive in even in dangerous situations. And so using weapons like this, like bows, firearms and all of that have actually made current humans like us forget about throwing outside of sports and games. We forgot how useful throwing was for survival in the past

So how are the pictures throw time only increasing, of course, with practice, people get better. But evolutionary has there been a decrease? And so hypothetically, with these times be on average, lower than our ancestors threw out of a need for survival rather than for a sport

So my next question has to do with the part of the article where you mentioned that humans are the only species that can throw well enough to kill, rival and prey, and that evolutionary selection her favorite throwing. So I hope that other species also have have methods to kill and fight some little Lions, ripping apart their prey with super sharp teeth and poisonous snakes. So is there a specific reason that on my throwing outshine these other traits?

Or is it due to environmental reasons such as boys just like to throw more and they are essentially training from a younger age, maybe unintentionally. Or is there a factor of both

And so is there a correlation between throwing and the success and intelligence of a species because humans could throw the fastest, which is arguably the reason we progress so much over other species. And chimpanzees are secondary. Like our second closest relatives who can also throw just not as fast have also progressed compared to other species. So is there a correlation between, I guess, throwing and the success of the species
