For Millions of Years, Humans Were Prey

For millions of years, humans weren't the hunters. We were prey. Long before humans became dominant predators, our ancestors lived in a world filled with powerful animals that could hunt, kill, and eat them. So how did a relatively small, physically weak primate eventually become one of the most successful hunters on Earth? This video explores the dangerous world early humans lived in — the predators that threatened them, how our ancestors survived, and the gradual changes that helped humans go from being hunted to becoming the hunters. From saber-toothed predators and giant carnivores to spears, teamwork, and strategy, this is the story of how humans changed their place in the food chain. We weren't always at the top.
