It is clear that the activity of hunting, in the form of predator/prey relation, is a characteristic trait in many species, and presumably a great part of their neuronal activity consists in the recognition and pursuit of preys. Some decades ago, the idea that hunting was a decisive factor in the process of hominization was also put forward; man was essentially a hunting animal. This hypothesis neglects the fact that the human species is naturally omnivorous and thus it may not have been immediate biological needs which led man to dedicate himself to the hunting of other animals.
