Human Evolution and Hunting Adaptations

Humans are hunters, and there is undeniable proof for this claim.

We have eyes in the front of our skull, which creates a huge overlap in the visual field of

both eyes, creating binocular vision and improving depth perception. This is useful

for judging the distance when chasing or capturing prey, or throwing projectiles when hunting.

On the other hand, prey animals like goats and deer have eyes on the side of their heads,

so that they can have a much wider field of view, allowing them to detect threats

from virtually any direction. Many grazing animals even have horizontal slit pupils,

which further expands their panoramic vision, so that they can graze while scanning their

environment. We have very large brains that allow us to communicate effectively, determining

behavior patterns of prey, and to organize and plan ahead of time. On top of that, our ability

to communicate with an advanced

spoken language amplifies our cooperative power.

We have opposable thumbs that allow for precise motor functions like wielding weapons and

crafting tools.

And we have a narrow waist which allows our torso to rotate independently from the hips,

generating a massive amount of throwing power.

We are apex predators for these exact reasons, and it is in our DNA to eat flesh.

Sorry to break it to you, but if you are vegan, you are straying from your species-specific

diet and you will inevitably suffer from doing so.
