2) It's most likely that at some point humans learned to harness aura by copying animals, because that is how our Irl ancestors made primitive tools, 2) Evidence of this specific bit? Monkeys and coconuts. Humans learnt about the edible inside of coconuts by watching monkeys crack it open on rocks. They then copied the monkeys, found the meat of the coconut, and that was that.

Same goes for tortoises and eating them. Human's watched birds pick up the tortoise and dropped them from high up on a rock so the shell split, revealing the softer meat inside. People dropped heavy rocks on the tortoise or dropped the tortoise from high up to crack the shell just like the birds did, and they could eat tortoises.

It may not be the axes/spears that you think of when people say 'primitive tools', but learning from animals happened all the time in history.
