** None taken, valid points. I am not nominating this as a hunting or gahering photo, but as a photo of a San physique. It is by far the best picture available in this category, explaining its use in several top-priority articles. --[[User:Hydrox|hydrox]] ([[User talk:Hydrox|talk]]) 01:35, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Article support. Very important topic and in several articles. Have that nailed. But I really don't see how it illustrates hunting or foraging. Seems like it illustrates the guy smiling and maybe we can see a part of his body type. But even just for some sort of human anatomy "what this tribe looks like" we lack enough perspective or scale or amount of him to really see his size or physique. And I don't see how he's hunting. P.s. Sorry (and I oppose a lot, please don't take as discouraging.)TCO (reviews needed) 01:24, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
