Human DO act like cattle, they act like all animals. They
more-than-reproduce themselves and consume their commons. The fact that
they talk instead of moo is totally beside the point.
In Energy and Human Evolution, David Price said it best:
"The human species may be seen as having evolved in the service of entropy,
and it cannot be expected to outlast the dense accumulations of energy that
have helped define its niche. Human beings like to believe they are in
control of their destiny, but when the history of life on Earth is seen in
perspective, the evolution of Homo sapiens is merely a transient episode
that acts to redress the planet's energy balance."
