Scorpion Kill Survival Skills | The Great Human Race

·Nov 11, 2024

That is a scorpion. As drought ravaged the once lush Arabian Peninsula, early Homo sapiens moving through the desert to the monsoon-soaked areas along the coast would be forced to adjust to a drastic change in their diet.

It's going to come for you. With hunting large mammals no longer an option, protein from small rodents and insects became the new reality.

It's going to move fast. Just got to H by the tail.

Oh, W, okay, let’s try the sting. Hold on, I'm going to pin its tail and then you cut it.

Wait, give me a second, Bill.

Okay, and then let's put it and see those. I've got it, so don’t okay, cut his tail off right now.

Y, it's off. Alright, go ahead. Want to get it? Go ahead, get it. Nice job.

Careful, that stinger, Bill. It can still pinch too for a minute.

Okay, these spear points are like using an atomic bomb to take out an ant.

Yeah, these are built for large animals, not scorpions and baby lizards.

Early Homo sapiens would find that the spear tips that served them well against large mammals were becoming obsolete against the quicker and smaller animals that survived in the desert.

Dord.
