I think one reason was because he didn't understand them. And in his mind, until he understood what he was dealing with he couldn't make a logical decision on how best to deal with them
I have to disagree a little here. I think he was expecting them to react logically. By demonstrating superior weaponry, he thinks logically the hunter gatherers should flee. What bugs me about that is, he's constantly talking about flawed, emotional humans. Shouldn't he be intelligent/educated enough to realize that a primative species might not be logical enough to grasp that?

*COURT MARTIAL*
Another take on "Kirk versus a Computer" - but with a twist. A nice device to put Kirk in the dock.
Some very, very nice performances from the guest stars - Joan Marshall (a former showgirl) is convincing as one of Kirk's old flames, Areel Shaw - and is a rare example of someone his own age. Alisha Cook's Cogley is one of my favorite TOS guest roles and Richard Webb (television's Captain Midnight
from the 1950s) was wonderfully malevolent and crazy as Finney.
I like this show more and more as I get older because, as an attorney, I like to anticipate how technology will be used in the future - and, obviously, it was some of my first exposure to courtroom drama.
In addition to Kirk's testimony and Spock's dealing with the computer, another scene I liked was in the bar where there is a cold reception for Kirk from his fellow officers, particularly academy classmates. This shows there is some resentment for Kirk's rapid rise through the ranks. It was only brought to the surface by the death of Finney - apparently someone they all liked, crazy though he was.
