What I never got about this theory is, fine, you run after the Ptadgedrwgydon for 87kms, when it gives up due to exhaustion and you kill it with a stone. What now? You're 87kms away with a carcass that weighs 500kg, how do you get back the food to the tribe?

I figured they chased them in a big circle. Or did laps. Or anything other than a completely straight line.

I can imagine... "You, c*nt! Would you mind turning left a bit? Thanks!"

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but yeah. Head them off in the direction you want them to go, just like sheepdogs do.
