The topic was the concept of humans as predators, or hunters, or really, eaters of meat, and I was discussing the many ways in which people misconceived this notion. Even though this referred to a period after the supposed “scavenging” phase, it lent support to the idea of a stepwise evolution of the ability to hunt.

Like the tube-nosed birds, new world vultures detect the smells of rotting meat carried by the winds. But kiwis actually sniff out their food by probing their long bills into the soil and smelling for earthworms and other delectables.

Here is a New York Times blog post about wolf hunting. While this belief might not compel us to be vegetarians, it does demand significant changes in the way we raise animals for food, and it forbids wolf hunting as a form of entertainment.
