One of my professors thought that this form of hunting, which he called "persistence hunting," was critical in evolution. Along with that came large brains (to remember where you were, where you had been, and where the camp was, etc.). Also involved were the high-value foods obtained by hunting.

Long distance walking--not to say hunting, but the opportunity was there--predates big brains by at least two million years.
