At what point in history did humans stop being eaten by other animals
Indians are eaten by tigers all the time. Though I hesitate to call them human.
>>17964740Humans get eaten by pumas and shit all the time. Remember when that alligator snatched a child from Disney world? We're still in the food chain, we just set up barriers and kill anything that snatches us.
>>17964740Never
>>179647402003
humans are not exactly an ideal prey animal, don't taste especially good and have a high bone to meat ratio.
>>17964864>>17964740Humans are still being eatenHowever, we are no longer in the "food chain" as there are no animals that consume us "regularly"Humans escaped the food chain as soon as we learned how to move in a cohesive tribe.Not even a whole pride of Lions would risk it.They can slaughter a clan of Hyenas regularly but humans are much bigger and have weapons.Big nope right there
>>17964740It still happens, just rarely. Big cats, crocs, and bears will snack on people if given the chance. We just got better at building walls and carrying guns, so it's not a daily worry like it was for our ancient ancestors.
>>17964940Cannibals say humans taste deliciously like pork with a light sweet taste
>>17964740Never. Wild animals maul tourists to death in American national parks all the time.
>>17964979>Eating jeetsPoor guys must be really desperate
>>17964740They never did? Go lay down with a bunch of hungry rats and see how long you last. Go walk in the woods and mosquitoes and ticks will parasitize you.
>>17964985They also say "tastes like chicken".

>>17964740probably not until we became sedentary as that probably increased pack size and discouraged attacks. Polar bears still view humans as food and tigers occasionally get the taste
Well people are still getting eaten by shitbulls daily and even feeding their kids to them.
>>17964740Never. Now go on and eat something fat and filling.Become all round and plump, dear.
Humans lack the protein to be good prey
>>17964805certified fpbp
>>17964740Bros I honestly think we were a victim species until about that ANE/Gravettian period. Other archaics were not dominant over these big cats and Aurignacians don't appear to be even though they were picking up momentum and developing new tools.
>>17964740>At what point in history did humans stop being eaten by other animalsWait, I actually know this one. Sometime between 400,000 to 300,000 years ago: around the time when pre-modern humans had finally commonly 'mastered' the management and creation of fire. Previously, pre-modern humans had to source fires naturally and then stand vigil on generational hearths - there's a cave in China where a community of homo erectus had lived until the ashes from their hearth literally pushed them out of the cave. I use that specific time frame because it's the period where we stop seeing caves being used and owned almost exclusively by large predators (tigers, sabretooth cats, lions, bears, hyena, mega-baboons), littered with the bones of their prey that included pre-modern humans, and replaced/chased out trash produced by pre-modern humans (flint bits, fire ash, hide mat prints, dried torn fibers, assorted random animal bones that have been butchered and cooked, human shit, etc). That isn't to say people aren't still eaten by other animals; almost all large cats and polar bears still recognize us as a prey item. Pre-contact people living in the Amazon Jungle were still getting eaten by jaguars as recent as the 40's and 50's if they didn't get home before night fell and peasants in India still get eaten by tigers every once in a while. I'm just acknowledging there absolutely was a definitive period where everyone lived in abject fear of getting eaten, at any moment, and then a time after that.
>>17965443>mega-baboonsThough, it wasn't like we were ever 'completely' helpless. There's a huge kill site in Kenya where 93 baboons were slaughtered by a community of homo erectus and it suggest they may have been killed in some kind of territorial dispute. Many of the baboons had their head's bashed in with clubs or were otherwise stoned to death.
>>17964979>muh mostly peecful captureNot enough whites in that area unironically. Dont question the cobra bounties rajeesh.
>>17965461Based. Total monkey death

>>17964805tigers very rarely attack humans, when was the last time a person was actually hunted and eaten by one?
>>17964932it didn't eat him, it just killed him
>>17964740probably once spears were invented.what predator could take on a group of men wielding spears?
>>17966160A honey badger, it wouldn't care about spears.
>>17964979poor tiger getting food poisoning
