Why are humans predators when ape are not

[thirty]

Humans are 99.9% similar to apes, right?

Stupid girl with stupid questions.

This makes me want to shove a banana up your ass.

 

[WyldIce]

I'm sorry but is this a legitimate question???

Just in case it is, it's called Google. Go use it.

Also, how is the answer to that question not obvious???

*Just walk away Kelly before you get yourself into trouble*

 

[phrodeau]

Because the predators won.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Because the predators won.

Pretty sure the Aliens won.

Its a valid criticism of the human species. People have always pretty much disgusted me.

 

[lilsarah_91]

Because unlike Apes, Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Orangutangs and Sasquatch; Humans are fucking psychopathic.

 

[pointless]

human beings are apes.

other apes (ex: the chimps that don't have hot gay sex like all the fucking time) do hunt.

you're a moron.

 

[ag2507]

For the record...

Chimpanzees do commit murder, and bored Chimps do form raiding parties and go off to kill other chimps for fun, just like humans.

 

[dolf]

chimps are brutal hunters, eejut.

In response to this thread's title, Who gives a fuck!

 

[mercury14]

Humans are more killers and destroyers than actual predators.

 

[blackleggings]

I've seen all of the Planet of the Apes movies. Apes are still pretty scary if you ask me.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Apes do hunt.

What they do not do is cultivate herds and fields...

Pandas are exclusively vegetarians. Virtually all other bears are carnivores.

Pretty sure the Aliens won.

Self destruct device. No winners.

 

[butters]

as has already been pointed out, the premise of the OP is just wrong. start again.

 

[Scentofawoman]

Actually this would be a pretty interesting question on a Biology exam.

It would be interesting to theorize why gorillas evolved into mostly a herbivorous life.

Are humans predators anymore?


Humm I think this would be a good question at dinner to hash out.


Gotta use the biology degree sometimes.

 

[Scentofawoman]

Interesting note too..

Gorillas carry the genetic for dementia but it's repressed. Geneticists are trying to figure out why humans have it active.


Oh and the figure is ~ 97 to 98% DNA match.

Predators seem to have this bad habit of being missing an arm when they realize they want to use that thing. Besides I saw Alien and Aliens. There is no reason to believe some cold water killed an alien queen. That bitch is swimming around somewhere and when we least expect it BAM Alien shark hybrids.

Could be worse. Think about alien/whale or alien/squid hybrids.

 

[ag2507]

not eactly true

Pandas are exclusively vegetarians. Virtually all other bears are carnivores.

Sorry blue_pearl_85, but that's another myth, but understandable, as that was believed true until about 20 years ago when it was disproved. Humans eat meat because the demands of brain development require far more resources than a vegetable diet can sustain. Adults can safely switch to a vegetarian diet but it is not safe to let children do so. Unfortunately it would be unethical to do a controlled trial but underfeeding children has long term physical and mental effects.

Did you misquote or mistype or both?

Agree, but the figures are misleading as Slime Mold, according to my old Genetics professor, has 95% DNA match.
