Humans Have Become Super-Predators – No On Else Comes Close


Though humans might not be as fierce as a lion or white shark, we’re definitely the greatest predatory species in the world, ever. 

The extent of humanity’s super-predation was assessed by a team at University of Victoria in British Columbia which compared our hunting abilities to those of both land and marine predators in all the oceans and continents, besides Antarctica.

The findings reveal humans lack any real competition preying on adults of other species at rates up to 14 times higher than other predators, especially marine ones.
