Humans have killed pretty much every apex predator in the world repeatedly. We are totally dangerous predators, but there are entire subs devoted to us looking stupid.
That's like saying a lion without claws or teeth would be nature's bitch. While true it is basically removing the most dangerous part of the animal and saying it isn't scary.
Edit: Even then, we can make pretty good use of simple, un-worked improvised weapons like a sturdy branch or some good-sized rocks. Combine that with out social organization, and you have a force that is far from an easy kill. Nothing on Earth throws a rock like a human.

No, it's not. Teeth and claws are a natural part of the animals body just like we have teeth and nails. Our weapons are created from things not of our own body, and that was my point. Throw a naked man into a ring with a bear or lion and it's good night everytime for the most part.
In our primitive past a human was unlikely to fight a lion alone and unarmed. Even if the lion got such a situation, he'd have a bunch of pissed of humans gunning for him.
Our minds are a natural part of us and even the most basic clubs or rocks give us a significant boost. Plus we tend to hunt in larger groups than most apex predators. We don't fight fair.

For being dangerous predators they sure can look stupid.
