If humans didn't have tech, would we still be considered APEX predators?

No, bro. If all we had were our hands to catch prey, we'd be vegetarians lol.

I hate this type of hypothetical! If we didn't develop ways of survival we obviously would be extinct .. and just to clear things up technology is a way and means of survival

Why do Brazilians always have British last names as their first names?

We still would have our brains. And usage of tools. We didn't start here in 2010

^Oh okay. I interpreted it as us in 2010 as we are now being stripped of all tools and technology.

That's like asking if Tigers didn't have claws and teeth, would that make them great predators.

evolution gave us higher thinking and the ability to use tools
...just as evolution gave animals natural weapons

No, I'm saying it's a part of what makes us humans.
Even if I took away your guns, you would still need to make tools to hunt with. Humans are not physically equipped to run down and kill prey.
We have wimpy fingernails and teeth....this is the truth. Most humans cannot wrestles down a buffalo and suffocate them by biting down on their trachea.

Dude, it's our brains that put us at the top. Obviously with our brains came technology and all the other stuff.

Lemme put it this way, I'm a pretty big/physical guy......There are very few prey I could chase down, wrestle down and kill without tools.
What am I gonna do, scratch the hell out of it and snap it's neck.

if it were nature vs nature
man vs. a tiger.
man would win. our brain is natural. we'd set up a trap to kill it. maybe lure it somewhere i can rig a rock to drop on his head.

This is a stupid question. Do you really think you could compete with a lion or bear? You'd be dead in 3 seconds, son.
