Hunter gatherers hunted and gathered mega fauna to extinction too. So aggressively did we hunt before we even wrote anything down that we had to settle down and say “this land is mine, and you may not take the grain from it”
Mass Extinction Cycles have been part of this Planets normal cycle for a LOOOOONG time before humans started doing it too. Oxygen, the thing that all current life in this planet needs, caused one with its mass introduction. Literally everything that people list as reasons for hating humans show up everywhere in nature and other animals. Theres a shitload of good things we have accomplished that cant be said for nature and other animals though. The thing thats unique about humans, and why I think it means we need to eventually leave this planet and turn it into a nature reserve, is that we managed to escape Natures checks and balances, which, to be clear, is death and starvation. Being able to provide quality life for almost all humans born, regardless of health and mental conditions is amazing, but unfortunately makes us incompatible with nature, and if we removed our selves from that, NOT by killing ourselves, but instead by creating our own environments on space stations and dead planets, we can have all of the positives, without the negatives of being incompatible with Nature
How many megafauna did we hunt to extinction before we even invented language lol. Humanity is literally a disease. We exploit resources until there is nothing left to exploit. Every. Single. Time.
Hunter gatherers weren’t so bad, it was just when we started saying “this land is mine” that we ran into true savagery.

Humanity has driven 70% of all species to extinction since our first steps.
We are equivalent to a super volcano or a meteor.
