Siverfale vs Kitty

Yeah... The thing is, by the time the British arrived on the mainland, there was practically nothing (or rather, no one) left of the marsupial wolves.
Regarding animals that are man-eaters: here's another point in favor of our time: now animals are afraid of humans and don't attack us. Only in self-defense, and even then, they usually run away.

Yes, I know about the marsupial wolves, but for now, it seems to be the only "relatively" safe species that was completely exterminated by humans in ancient times. It gained wider scale later...
And regarding the absence of man-eating animals, there are simply almost none left...

Just try to handle it carefully, and that's it. But in ancient times, half of the materials went into all sorts of weapons.

There will always be enough stupid people who underestimate the power of the weapon they possess, and that's when (considering the extremely unstable situation in the world, not like 500 years ago) a spectacular (or maybe not so spectacular) apocalypse will occur.

Just wait a little longer, and there will be... But for now, you can hide deep in the jungle, settle in the Sahara, or live in Antarctica. There are still unexplored corners of the Earth.

But you can't build a new society there, unlike in the New World. And by the way, how can we reach for the stars when there is still so much to do on Earth, starting with exploring the same jungles and ending with the same wars and diplomatic conflicts? The development of human civilization has led it to a complete finish; moral values are collapsing, drugs and alcohol are flowing in an endless stream, the Cold War continues (find 5 differences from the current situation and from the times of the Cold War) - everything is heading towards a collapse.
