So, for anyone wondering if humans are natural predators, the answer is a big yes! Our ancestors were top of the food chain for about two million years, mainly surviving by hunting big animals and eating a diet heavy on meat and fat. This isn’t just some wild theory—it’s backed by studies that have looked at everything from ancient bones to the tools we used.
What’s even crazier? Modern research shows that animals actually fear us more than they do other predators like lions. We’ve earned the title of “super-predators” because of the way we impact the world around us and the way animals react to us.
