When I saw a question posed: “What animal is the greatest killer of human beings?” My knee-jerk reaction was other human beings. I suppose that I thought about the number of murders that occur in the U.S. annually and extrapolated that to the rest of the world. But that is the kind of assumption and statistical error that a sociologist, like me, should not make. Truly, I know better, but that did not prevent my all-too-human initial reaction.
