i think its also hard for me to consider humans a predator animal despite that they became apex predators in some enviornments because we fucked those enviornments right up. we shouldve just kept hoarding fruits instead of killing every big animal we saw, yknow. when humans became predators is definitely a downfall of our species despite the "evolutionary success"
#i will always choose to see humans for their caring supportive tendencies. those are our BEST features#not even going to mention that later on the mindset of ''predator humans'' is required to justify colonialism#i also really do not believe that every group of humans in every enviornment were apex predators- there is just no way??#and the thing about humans is they developed cultures- humans create their own niches#i dont feel like its appropriate to say humans are a predator species. we're highly intelligent#like we almost went extinct until we realized how to self preserve and support and care for one another#THAT saved us- humans going on to become apex predators is fucked up if we apply morality to it#(which is also generally a bad idea to do but for the sake of this post..)#man once this conversation exits ''early humans'' and reaches ''human societies'' then it quickly becomes#''considering humans predators is now a horribly violent reality''#i guess thats also why i hesitate considering us predators... WE SHOULD NOT BE.#ALSO i am not not not trying to vague anyone i just saw some posts on my dash about it and i have thoughts#i would just personally not go#around calling humans a Predatory Species despite our current status of apex predator#thats what white supremacy and colonialism want the world to think- that humans have an innate instinct to conquer#and i know that The Fact Of The Matter and My Feelings About It are two different things#but most people arent even AWARE of how crucial care and support were to the bare survival of our genus
