3. From Paragraph 3: According to the writer, what was the main factor or trigger for the transformation of hunting behaviour into sports?

4. Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long formative period of hunting their food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, was put to new use- that of penning, controlling and domesticating their prey. The hunt became suddenly obsolete. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.

15. From Paragraph 5: What hunting skills and behaviours were transferred to the sporting arena?

16. An alternative solution was to transform the activities of the hunting pack into other patterns of behaviour. Superficially these new activities did not look like hunting but beneath the surface all the basic elements were there. The key to the transformation lies in the fact that there was no longer any need to eat the prey. This being so, then why bother to kill an edible animal? Why indeed kill any animal at all?

17. A symbolic killing is all that is needed, provided the thrill of the chase could be retained. The Greek solution was athletics- field sports involving chasing (track-running), jumping and throwing (discus and javelin). The athletes experienced the vigorous physical activity so typical of the hunting scene and the patterns they performed were all elements of the ancient hunting sequence but their triumph was now transformed from the actual kill to a symbolic one of “winning”.
