Are humans APEX predators?

[DatNkkaCutty]

I guess it's tricky, cuz we can hunt or kill anything (intelligence, ingenuity, tool, weaponry, etc)..

But without weapons or numbers, I'm confident 9/10 people, would be food, if dropped in the wild.


Most folks aren't hunters, or survivalists, either.

The western man is definitely not an Apex predator anymore too much couch time

 

[FLORIDA BOI]

Yes they are, we are the top predator on the planet

 

[MidniteJay]

I want to say humans are the "Batman" of Apex Predators.

With prep time, tools and smarts >>>>>>>>>>>

Without those we're straight trash.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Sure.

you’re the apex everything with laser guided weapons

 

[42 Monks]

I’m sure you know there are still tribes living in the wild who’re outnumbered but are still the kings and queens of the wild, no?

People underestimate how animalistic human beings are because we’re more sophisticated in this age. Let human survival instinct kick in and you’ll see it. We’ll always be the apex predators.

@ 9/10 would be food

Try 11 out of 10

Any animal that can easily take a weak human can do the same to the strongest ones

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

Is an apex predator a predator with NO natural predators? Or only a FEW natural predators?

I think either way, our conventional understanding of an apex predator means we would qualify. Things normally kill us out of unfortunate circumstance or as a defence mechanism, but not necessarily for food. The only animal that actively hunts us is Polar Bears, and we don't live en masse in the same kind of terrain so that's not a significant problem.

We are the most OP species on Earth.

Those people ain't the average human today.

Are humans... Yes most definitely. But there are variables.

We sit on top of the food chain and can be apex predators and also food. Most humans today would be food in the wilds not good.

Scenario is flawed tbh are we talking a Man vs. Wild situation where we just have the clothes on your back? We will just make our own tools and weapons with the opposable thumbs and brain that make us Apex.

Don't allow for making tools or weapons or to form communities? That's like taking away a wolf's fangs or tendency to hunt in packs, and you can say several heads of the food chain would get they wigs pushed back if they couldn't group up or use their specialty.

 

[DreadBrown]

As a species nothing is fukking with humans

We been holding mother nature hostage since nukes came in to play

We’ll turn the whole planet to space dust like dbz if it comes to it

 

[RARI_Godwind]

Nope. We are a completely disruptive anomaly to any food chain. No natural predators ever. Plus all these gifts.

 

[Hollywood Co]

Our brains make us Apex predators. We can hunt and defend ourselves better than any animal because of our ability to create.

Even in your scenario with no weapons, we can still manipulate the world around us to take advantage of the food sources available.
