well fluffy im going to try to answer your question.
short and simple
its our intellegence that keeps us at the top of the pyramid. our ability to make and use tools efficiently helps as well. like apes can use tools to do certain tasks.our social capibilities help us to build cities and use money to support or economic system. ants bees and termites also use social groups to remain alive, but unlike us they cant live with out their social group.
we have not always been at the top though. simple organisms such as bacteria have plauged us for years with disease.most of which we have over come using our inteligence through antibiotics and general medication. i feel that we will eventually over come all forms of bacterial infection one day.
our ability to make tools has helped us hunt and preform agriculture. like some ants farm fungus to survive.(i think they are leaf cutter ants)some termites as well from what i have read.we were able to construct traps to catch prey either ambush or mechanical traps. spiders also use traps called webs as im certain you already know.
most of the technology that we have, can be looked at as being copied from nature. we just have the inteligence to copy it in a diferent way through problem solving. even electronics in some ways mimic our central nervous system. i have even heard it said that when henry ford was developing cars he used the human body as an outline for the vehicles. now i dont know the truth to that but thats what ive heard.
so no we are not the top of the pyramid we still have not even conquered the most simple of life bacteria.but we are a notible inhabitant of our planet and we most likly will reach the top of the pyrimid if we dont destroy our selves first
one reason we cant defeat bacteria is they are so much smaller that they evolve more quickly, and adapt to our medications and antibiotics. so we have to find new ways to fight them. it may be a loosing battle on our part. |

The bacteria should be fought by the realization that we shouldnt manufacture & mase produce things that sustain there lives.
as simple as old bread makes mold, which in turn causes a infection that needs to be treated by piniccilan[the same mold]. treat a snake bite with snake venom. the snake is the source not the venom |
