Raymond Dart's discovery of the Taung Child led him to conclude that our ancestors were cannibalistic killers, suggesting human evolution embraced predatory instincts.
The anthropological consensus evolved around Dart's thesis; humans, with their long-distance running capabilities and cooperative hunting strategies, were seen as natural-born predators.
Cultural manifestations of this predatory view can be traced in literature and film, notably in 'Lord of the Flies' and '2001: A Space Odyssey', illustrating human savagery.
Contemporary self-help figures advocate for a return to ancestral eating habits, further entrenching the notion that our primal inclinations are rooted in meat consumption.
