"Plus,
if we look at zombies as a species, they are pretty much designed for
failure. Their main form of reproduction is also their only source of
food and their top predator. If they want to eat or reproduce, they have
to go toe to toe with their number one predator
every single time.
That's like having to fight a lion every time you to want to have sex
or make a sandwich. Actually, it's worse than that: Most top predators
are only armed with teeth and claws, meaning they have to put themselves
in harm's way to score a kill. Humans have rifles.
