1 million years ago, who were humans predators?
people always say "we evolved this way because 1 million years ago humans had to deal with these predators". or something like that. what exactly were those predators humans had to deal with a long time ago?

do lions even attack people? like people commonly think black bears like eating people but they don't, and grizzly bears only kind of do.

Like, the flight or fight response was developed in regard to predators. Or humans living in groups was a way to defend against predators, etc.

i saw an old school video filmed in the 70s..anyway, a lion attacked a foolish tourist that ventured too far from his vehicle while on a safari tour. it was graphic, so i think lions can fit the role. how about man vs. man? OOOOOOHHHH lol how about a rhino about to charge your ass?

Re: 1 million years ago, who were humans predators?
I bet a lot of that is fighting between other humans, or groups of humans. Also caves or an open field are not the same as a city. Even if bears or lions dont eat human, they still wander around human terriotry. Plus when hunting, humans may aggrevate animals. And there are probably lots of other animals that are now exticnt that like to kill humans.

Re: 1 million years ago, who were humans predators?
I was speaking more about a predator that had humans as its primary souce of food.
That being said, I can't seem to find an evolutionary biology degree on my wall, so please feel free to tell me I don't know what the hell I'm talking about ;-) |

No predators had humans as it's primary food source - parasites yep, predators nope.
