"I used to evolve into an anteater, I still do, but I used to too"
wtcactus•47m ago
This makes sense. The biomass of ants is enormous. It's about 10% of all present livestock on earth. It's a huge source of energy and protein.

So, it stands to reason evolution took animals down the path of taking advantage of that source several times.

In other terms, the most populous, widespread, and consistently available plant-eater makes for an ideal carnivore target.

Long after humans spread out across the stars, maybe the perfect human consuming predator will emerge.

It already emerged. Corporations.

> It already emerged. Corporations.

It's more like people are corporations' gut bacteria that are always in dire health because the organism loves junk food of all kinds so much and sometimes is doing drugs too.

It's strange to think we chose to hunt or raise large animals; and to perform all that such a choice implies i.e. growing plants to feed them and more generally farming, when we could just raise ants and plants.
dlisboa•30m ago
It's not strange at all. We grow what we eat, humans didn't start by eating insects. Plus growing plants specifically to feed livestock is an extremely recent development.

Plus ants can't provide all the nutrients we need.
