Man the Hunted argues that primates, including the earliest members of the human family, have evolved not as hunters but as the prey of any number of predators, including wild cats and dogs, hyenas, snakes, crocodiles, and even birds of prey. Eyewitness accounts, data collected by the authors, and the published reports of naturalists establish the astonishing extent to which living monkeys, lemurs, apes, and even humans fall victim to a wide variety of predators, some of which even specialize in the consumption of primates. Additionally, the fossil record demonstrates that primates have been prey for millions of years, a fact that necessarily shaped the evolution of our earliest ancestors in body and behavior. Skillfully combining information from a number of lines of evidence, Man the Hunted casts an entirely new light on the natural history of primates and the evolution of fossil and modern humans.\&nbsp; Just another item on the menu -- Debunking "man the hunter" -- Who{\textquoteright}s eating whom? -- Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! -- Coursing hyenas and hungry dogs -- Missionary position -- Terror from the sky -- We weren{\textquoteright}t just waiting around to be eaten! -- Gentle savage or bloodthirsty brute? -- Man the hunted -- The last word.</p>
