Humans are at the top of the food chain now. What if we lost this position to some other living being? Imagine a world where humans are not at top. Write 10 lines describing this world.
Answers
Human may feel proud of being dominating the earth comprising all species.
Human race is also may feel amazed for their ability to tame all kinds of beasts and winning arm race, developing in science and technology and creating wonders of worlds.
Thus human may claim topmost position in food chain.
But claim of human to be in top position is wrong.
Places in food chain is measured by ecologists in terms of that widely held belief is actually wrong.
In fact, we ,the humans nowhere near the top.
Ecologists rank species by their diets using index called the trophic level.
Plants, that can produces its own food are given a rank of
1. Herbivores, are raked
2. The meat eating creatures are ranked at 5.
5.According to research study, place of human in food has been calculated taking into account all country average nearly a measly 2.21, which puts the human diet on par with pigs and anchovies.
A trophic level of 2.5 would mean that the human diet was split evenly between plants and herbivores A diet of 2.21 means that we eat far more plants than herbivores.
