      Thats how we made it this far. Some absolute morons charge ahead and get themselves killed, while everyone else shakes their head. With some animals it works, surprisingly. Others we learn to keep away from- until the next moron feels like " hey, lets try that thing again!".

        I mean we basically successfully hunted every animal on the planet. Wouldn’t say it’s fair to call them morons

            Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.

            Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I’m very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.

            Look up cave bears for a treat.
