Yes, early humans and their ancestors were definitely prey for numerous predators like big cats (leopards, saber-toothed cats), hyenas, crocodiles, wolves, and even giant birds and snakes, with fossil evidence showing bite marks on hominin bones, indicating they were hunted and scavenged, though humans eventually became apex predators through cooperation and tool use.

New research shows that some human groups living around 15,000 years ago were eating their dead not out of necessity, but as part of their culture. While most people will either bury or cremate their dead in the modern day, some of our ancestors did things a little differently.
It all tells a story where our genus' trophic level – Homo's position in the food web – became highly carnivorous for us and our cousins, Homo erectus, roughly 2.5 million years ago, and remained that way until the upper Paleolithic around 11,700 years ago.
The Predator series has introduced several Predator/human hybrids, however, all of them have been male. The most well-known hybrids came from The Predator, where some clans of Yautja hybridized themselves with human and other species' DNA to become better and stronger.
The top predators in the world include the great white shark, known for its powerful bite and hunting technique, and the lion, which hunts cooperatively in prides. Other notable predators are the grizzly bear, famous for its strength and speed, and the killer whale, which uses sophisticated hunting strategies.
Because they've been selectively bred to treat us with the empathy they'd show members of their pack.
The need to cover the body is associated with human migration out of the tropics into climates where clothes were needed as protection from sun, heat, and dust in the Middle East; or from cold and rain in Europe and Asia.
Without claws or canines, the earliest hominins were physically more or less defenseless. Like other primates, they could probably toss rocks, wave sticks, and create a big fuss when threatened. They probably slept in trees at night or, at a minimum, huddled together in groups on the ground.
5 Apex Predators: Lion, Eagle, Leopard, Orca, Polar Bear.
Human flesh tastes like pork, hence the term 'long pig' for human meat cuts, the 'long' denoting the difference between the limb lengths of pig and human. Although there are few 'first hand' accounts of the flavor of human flesh, its similarity in texture and taste to that of pork seems generally agreed upon.
Amongst humans in prehistoric Europe, archaeologists have uncovered many clear and indisputable sites of cannibalism, as well as numerous other finds of which cannibalism is a plausible interpretation.
Genesis 9:3
What food does the Bible say we can eat? After the fall in Genesis, we were allowed to eat meat. Before that, nothing died in Eden. However, this Bible verse about food in Genesis 9 reminds the reader that Christians are allowed to eat meat.
The Fugitive Predator, also known as the Rogue Predator, was a Yautja/human hybrid and rival of the Upgrade Predator. Despite killing humans, the Fugitive's aim was to deliver a weapon known as the "Predator Killer" to humanity so that they could fend off an invasion of some kind.
Some hominin fossils have shown signs of predation that are consistent with African savannas being the domain of the largest mammalian carnivores of any habitat on Earth. Predecessors of felids such as lions, leopards, pumas, cheetahs and canids like wolves and hyenas roamed the land searching for their next meal.
Although humans can be attacked by many kinds of non-human animals, man-eating animals are those that have incorporated human flesh into their usual diet and actively hunt and kill humans. Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved lions, tigers, leopards, polar bears, and large crocodilians.
Mosquitos are by far the deadliest creature in the world when it comes to annual human deaths, causing around one million deaths per year, compared to 100,000 deaths from snakes and 250 from lions.
Prehistoric humans are likely to have formed mating networks to avoid inbreeding. Early humans seem to have recognised the dangers of inbreeding at least 34,000 years ago, and developed surprisingly sophisticated social and mating networks to avoid it, new research has found.
Gorilla, Binti Jua, saves a young boy
While onlookers watched in fear, Binti Jua, a western lowland gorilla, wandered over to the hurt boy, scooped him in her arms and cradled him until the paramedics arrived.
Early research suggested that nonhuman primates mate exclusively in a dorso-ventral position, whereas humans prefer face-to-face sexual intercourse to facilitate female orgasm. Early studies also suggested that that nonhuman primate females are not able to experience orgasm.
A new analysis of DNA from ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and Asia has determined, more precisely than ever, the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, starting about 50,500 years ago and lasting about 7,000 years — until Neanderthals began to disappear.
As uncomfortable as it is, dogs sniff crotches as a way to greet people and find out more about them. They have 300 million sensors in their noses, and they use them to navigate the world around them. (By comparison, humans only have 6 million.)
In a 2015 review of 63 cases of dogs scavenging their owners, less than a day had passed before the partially eaten body was found in about a quarter of cases.
