Oh that was me in reverse. Waking up to a pack of coyotes wondering if I was the tame human. Alas I sat up too quickly, scared them off, and now I’ll never get adopted by a pack of coyotes.

Yeah I know that. But if not friend, why friend shape?

We recently discovered that Hyenas were one of our primary predators well before we figured out tools and fire. There are archaeological sites that have thousands of human skeletons that were clearly eaten by hyenas. Mostly children, IIRC.

I would surmise that some of us have completely overwritten our basic instincts. Hyenas would also be friend shaped, but somehow I’m reasonably certain that your and my ancestors would disagree.
