[[Anthropology|Anthropological]] observations of modern [[hunter-gatherer]] communities have provided accounts for long-distance running as a historic method for hunting among the [[San people|San]] of the [[Kalahari Desert|Kalahari]],<ref>Bjerre, Jens.

New York: Macmillan</ref> In this method, the hunter would run at a slow and steady pace for between one hour and a few days, in an area where the animal has no place to hide. The animal, running in spurts, has to stop to pant to cool itself, but as the chase goes on it would not have enough time before it has to start running again, and after a while would collapse from exhaustion and heat.<ref name="Sears2001">Sears, Edward Seldon.
