Man the Hunted argues that primates, including the earliest members
of the human family, have evolved as the prey of any number of
predators, including wild cats and dogs, hyenas, snakes,
crocodiles, and even birds. The authors' studies of predators on
monkeys and apes are supplemented here with the observations of
naturalists in the field and revealing interpretations of the
fossil record. Eyewitness accounts of the 'man the hunted' drama
being played out even now give vivid evidence of its prehistoric
significance.This provocative view of human evolution suggests that
countless adaptations that have allowed our species to survive
(from larger brains to speech), stem from a considerably more
vulnerable position on the food chain than we might like to
imagine. The myth of early humans as fearless hunters dominating
the earth obscures our origins as just one of many species that had
to be cautious, depend on other group members, communicate danger,
and come to terms with being merely one cog in the complex cycle of
life.
