underthehedge said: @gormasabzi totally misread what you originally said though, sorry about that.

gormasabzi said: @underthehedge Hm yeah fair that makes sense.

underthehedge said: @gormasabzi I am in fact being daft here, sorry! Yeah so, fair enough. None the less I still doubt they’d have had such a clear idea of their specific birth intervals vs the time of year they give birth unless they were also tracking individuals over multiple years.

underthehedge said: @gormasabzi oh hang on am I being stupid, let me reread that all

underthehedge said: @gormasabzi beyond that, I guess consider the importance of birth time vs gestation. Knowing when they give birth, as wild animals they hunt rather than domestic animals they’re breeding, is more important than the specifics of time between mating and birth.

gormasabzi said: @underthehedge If that’s what I meant, shouldn’t it have been 2-3 strokes instead of 5?

underthehedge said: @gormasabzi palaeolithic hunter-gatherers would likely know the time an animal gives birth in the year but not necessarily the details of gestation periods. I’d have to check but I don’t think you can look at an elephant one year into a pregnancy and just tell it’s knocked up.
