We’re all just roleplaying as our ancestors hunting down mammoths and giant sloths to get fur and meat. No wonder it’s so addictive.The book is Sapiens btw
For real, that was us. Megafauna are not viable anymore cause some hairless apes are going to throw stuff at the big target if its there. And apparently throwing stuff accurately is so OP that it took us to the top of the foodchain. Crazy.
That, and patiently walking at a brisk pace

People used spears as pikes and braced against earth to kill mammoths. Throwing stuff is OP as well.
I know this was mostly a joke comment, but Id like to add that the second main culprit were rapid enviromental changes after the last ice age. It cant be all pinned on humans.
So up until very recently, the monster hunter games had a theme of living in balance with the environment and monsters were only hunted to help control manageable numbers or if some had gone out of control. Then they were apparently specifically told to tone down their environmental messaging to appeal to a wider audience.
