This is the capitalistic narrative since the agricultural revolution, thousands of years ago, but it's not true of most of human history.
During pre-agriculture we coexisted with many species, all living off the fat of the land, resources were plentiful for hundreds of thousands of years.
A delightful counterpoint and quick read is the book "Ishmael."
