Which one is the endangered species?

Your proposal is artificially constrained.  Put a tiger and a man in a
forest.  Run your experiment then.

Sure, we were designed to think.  It made us better killers (among other
things).  We designed tools.  We use tools to kill (among other things).
I did not say we were designed ONLY to kill.  But make no mistake about
it, we were designed to kill, and we are better designed for that than
anything else on this planet.
