Knowing what humans are and what to expect of them is critical for
people to make good decisions in a world where humans dominate the
ecosystem.

Unfortunately, a full understanding of our species requires knowledge
of evolution.  There is a fair sized segment of the US population that
rejects evolution.  A path from common knowledge to an understanding
that did not require evolution might be very useful.

The concept of a top predator is either understood by most people or
is obvious on inspection.  It is not too difficult for people to
understand that the concept applies to humans.  From there it is not
many steps from there to an understanding of the behavior expected for
the human species.
