>>12342680Look at the hunting "techniques" of the Australian aboriginals, they were incredibly inefficient: they'd set fires to drive animals out of hiding.
The fires would burn hundreds of thousands of acres, causing such massive amounts of smoke that they unintentionally altered the local climate, extended the dry season, and delayed monsoon season.
in an insane twist that could only arise in the era of political correctness, the Australian aboriginal people are now being cast as "expert fire planners", and are consulted as such.
The wildly out-of-control fires of the past, which inevitably killed immense numbers of animals and insects and scorched huge swaths of the Australian landscape, are often reframed as brilliant fire-management techniques centuries ahead of their time.
Oof.
