You do understand that, unlike most wild animals, humans change at a much faster rate, right?

The point isn't "humans did this (though admittedly I did throw a little jab in there)", the point is "drastically changing an environment can have devastating consequences".

So you're saying it can get worse?

Cooking takes time, ingredients, and if you want it palatable, ability. Fast food takes driving up to a location and saying "give me something easy".

It's not as fast as it used to be, but it's still relatively quick, especially if it's on your way home from wherever you are. Any extra time is just spent doomscrolling on your phone or listening to your preferred media pundit.

A genocide and a war with another country, which they'd probably like to turn into a genocide as well?

There's also a whole other population of Palestinians they've barely started genociding. Are you saying it'd be no worse if they started killing off people in the West Bank in the same way?

So... a predator it was unfamiliar with and had no defense against?

It makes sense to people who want to use the deaths of their ancestors as an excuse to do whatever the fuck they want.

The implication is that 11 is as bad as it gets. Unless you're like a hundred, you've never seen 11. It can get so so worse.

Yes, people are dying. And it's horrible. But acting as though this is the worst it's ever been or will ever be is laughable.

Tell that to the Northern White Rhino.

Don't forget his terrorist fist jab.

That's where that comes from, yes.

In after someone gets irrationally angry about people getting irrationally angry.

Because their evolutionary defense is literally defense, and not just having enough numbers to overcome predation.

Sure, there are species that exist without predation, but introduce predators (like humans) and oh, would you look at that... extinction!

Life is complex, and doesn't have any one single explanation for how it exists.
