Humans actually utilize quite a big chunk of the biomass.
- HPsquared 2y agoIt depends how you count it, whether you include plants etc. Humans are only 0.01% of all biomass, but humans and livestock completely dominate the "mammals" category. Funnily enough, the livestock population weighs about twice as much as the human population.
- adrian_b 2y agoHumans and livestock completely dominate not only the "mammals" category, but the entire "terrestrial vertebrates" category. There are only a few other terrestrial animals of comparable biomass with humans, e.g. ants and termites.
