      Because we figured out that armed, ranged combat (javelin, spear, arrow or bullet) beats melee (tooth and claw) combat 99.9 percent of the time.
      Land predators (besides us) never figured that out. A thrown stick gave way to the atlatl, which gave to the bow, which gave way to muzzle loading firearms, which gave way to repeating cased ammunition firearms.
      Opposable thumbs and a big brain allowed us to reign supreme on land. The only place where we don't rule? The ocean... and even there, we can hold our own if we bring the right tools.
