Your logic is flawed !
The "hypothesis" was that hominids scared the lions (with fire) to steal
their meat -
that they ate : carrion , carcasses, meat (sun-dried), brains,
rrow - (aswell as tubers)
hardly any mild vegen/vegetarian vision !
If you were put naked on the savannah - how easy do you think it would be
to catch
a gazelle ? , what "prey" would you be able to kill ? - a lizard - a small
bird in the nest?
Even the "real" predators often fail - what then about hominids ? And
predators often steal
from oneanother (easier than hunting) - why would hominids have been any
different ?
I think they would have used their most formidable weapon - their superior
intelligence!
doing all kind of clever tricks to get food - including "playing" with
fire.
