Are humans APEX predators?

[Hey_zeus]

At one point maybe but not now. We're them people a stage or two ahead of the people in Wall-E.

Humans as a species, over time and processes, not individuals on the spot

Humans started off as individuals in very small numbers with little knowledge. If they were so weak we wouldn't be here right now.

You look at pack hunters like wolves, and hyenas. Are they less of a predator for relying on numbers to increase their efficiency?

Humans were right there with them at one point, until they figured out ways to improve. Hell, to this day there's probably some tribes out in undeveloped areas that still hunt and live off the land. We're cozy behind our walls, but ppl out there still getting busy

Those people are the minority though. Breh, there would mass suicides and casualities if we lost electricity for a long period of time alone
Hell, you mentioned Epstein, people like him would kill themselves if he they had to live middle class, let alone in the wild. Those folks cant function in any way aside from throwing money at shyt.

As the saying goes, "Hard living creates strong people, strong people create easy living, easy living creates weak people......."

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

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

Without those we're straight trash.

dapped/repped/quoted

dope take on the subject.

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.

that's the question.
alone, a single person aint shyt against a predictor of another species unless they have a boom stick but even then a human can still catch that L.

collectively?
we are fukking monsters.

Spoiler

i stopped right after i typed that because i hurt me to actually say it in my head.
collectively, we are fukking monsters.

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

People underestimate the human capacity to adapt..

There is literally no other species our size, with our strength, versatility, or well rounded intelligence on average - once a threat is established, it's a wrap.

Collectively, Mayweather levels of figuring out the opponent. Some will die, but not alot.

The hilarity of this "hunter and gatherer" talk.


Folks think, if pressed, they'd turn into Macguyver, or Jason Bourne, in the wild. Again, 9/10 ppl are done for, if left unattended in the wild against, some shyt, really intent on stalking, and hunting you.

I should've posed the question....

"Do you believe YOU'D, be an APEX predator, in the wild?"

Speak for yourself nikka I from Florida I can fish better than anybody you Know IL bet that,saltwater or fresh, I deer hunt every year too and turkey hunt. My family is from the country this is just part of what we do.

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.

Case in point, the video of Indian villagers clubbing a bear to death with sticks.

People used to successfully hunt and kill dozens of Wooly Mammoths at a time.

 

[Micky Mikey]

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.

Humans aren't the apex predator. There is a higher intelligence that we'll be made aware of soon.

no.

I wouldn’t last in the wild

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Humans have very, very long memories and can create tools. If there was a species that actively hunted and killed humans, it would be extinct by the end of the month.

as individuals no

as a group yup

We used to be until we created civilization and stopped eating EVERYTHING we killed about 12,000 years ago.​
