Then again that does not exactly take into account vegetarians.

Yeah they are an odd bunch, never really understood them. As far as being the apex predator that part is simple, we work in groups like wolves, we have tools (unique for the most part to us), we communicate, we have forward aligned stereoscopic vision and stereo hearing, we have a very efficient physical form that allows us to run, jump, climb and manipulate tools and adapt as needed to a changing environment. I wan't to see a vegetarian wolf or lion. LOL We are predators.

I'm a vegetarian
Rhinos, hippos, bulls, and gorillas are, as well. Nothing weird about not needing to kill animals for food. We can be predators, but we can also be loving caretakers. That decision depends on the individual.

I'm a UFO abductee and I have type O. About thirty years ago somebody (supposedly) did a study of similar characteristics of abductees and came up with a list of twenty. Blood type O was one of them.

Fair enough, but man i love steak. Primal goodness, is hunting your own meal, done so many times. Reminds one they are alive and can be in touch with the order of life.

Have to say we cannot be anything other than an apex predator, to deny our very nature is nothing more than deluding ourselves. That being said we could certainly do a better job of taking care of our larder, livestock and environment in general. Seems to me us Humans have a penchant for self destruction hard wired in to our very nature.
The old saying spring's to mind " you don't crap on you own door step" yet we do just that on a daily basis without realisation or even a thought regarding the matter.

Ok, that's fine you don't eat meat please don't pay yourself to much my highly evolved friend, go ahead and live a docile and meek existence, there's a place for the weak in this society, surely you won't take offense to what I am saying as it's not intended to.be greatful your ancestors eat meat, had they not we'd arguably be still running around in trees and gathering food for the caves. It was infact our predator instinct and our desire for meat that pressed us forward,made us thinkers and pack animals and honed our wits, among other things of course but that being a large one. Please don't delude yourself, while your view is a docile and meek one it is also is counter productive overall to the human race. I am glad you get to live out your existence and that you were born in the right time.
Just pointing out we have have the teeth and tools, never mind a predisposition for eating meat.
