Reply to A moon you haven't seen 1000x: I composed Saturn's moon Dione crossing in front of Titan, seen from Cassini spacecraft - a red-green-blue sequence of images for color showing it's movement over three minutes by Riegel_Haribo
So cassini was tracking Dione, and titan "happened" to be in the background, that's pretty cool. I suppose the cassini team must have planned for this event to capture. I'm guessing most of the movement of titan shown here is actually movement of cassini, being close to Dione for that high res shot means a lot of parallax for far-away titan as cassini moves.

Reply to comment by PJHFortyTwo in What are more accepted hypotheses that similarly explain the aspects of hominid evolution that the "pseudoscientific" aquatic ape theory does? by KEVLAR60442
The endurance hunting hypothesis is on the same pseudo-science grounds as the aquatic ape hypothesis. Humans evolved in rocky terrain, where it would have been very difficult to track animals. And there is concrete evidence against it too. In the one place where animal remains with evidence of being eaten have been discovered alongside early humans, the bones were mostly adult and fit animals in their prime, not young or old which would be the easiest to catch by endurance hunting.
More likely is that early humans were ambush hunters, waiting in the foliage for an unlucky animal to walk by. It's possible that there were groups of humans that used endurance hunting, possibly for sport rather than survival (this is what the only groups of people who practice it today do).
