more than one early hominid that actively hunted. Why is it that we were the only species to survive? Speculation on the topic arose in the scientific community quite some time ago. Popular area focused on this topic was the effect of Spear use by Eurasian Neanderthals and early modern humans.

This is just another advantage that was given to those people who were lucky enough to live in…
