I've recently came across a claim that ancient europeans hunter-gatherers hunted animals by wrestling.
Do any of you know anything about that?
Thanks.
(I'm aware that the common story is group effort spear and bow stabbity stab.)

I could see it happening. Persistence hunters are still a thing.

Chasing an animal until it collapses of exhaustion is one of the coolest things prehistoric humans did imo

This is what I came here to post. A more common method for an individual or pair to catch an animal was just chasing it until it collapsed of exhaustion then simply taking it back to the camp with them. This was definitely a better plan than wrestling an animal. Virtually no chance of sustaining an injury that couldn't be treated and could easily become life threatening

>Charles liked to give people (and animals) a fair chance of kill him back and insisted on leading dangerous attacks in person. He liked camping close to the front line – so close that at Thorn a cannonball passed through his tent, flying across the dinner table as he was getting up. His other hobbies included bear hunting, which at first he did with a gun, then later with a spear, and eventually with only a wooden cudgel.
