Yes, and at the same time, there is actual awareness of the interconnection within words and meaning.
'Human' actually being derived from humus. Adam accordingly meaning 'Earth/of Earth'.
My guess is, that there is a deeper rift, either, when we started to walk upright,
or when we gained control over fire.
We started to move out of the primates niche, evolving into those hunting and gathering communities, and started to behave more like predators in the surrounding ecosystems.
According to the myth, there is something in Genesis, about the 'fruit of the trees' given as food to the first humans... . The main mythological rift with creation actually happening later, after the Ark.
According to evolution, we are way up and behind the development of chain/web of foods, so I won't judge any species by diet.
The line of thought was more, that according to this 'crown of creation' thinking, we are moving out of the forest omnivore niche of other primates, and start acting like the main predator by privilege.

Does predator = rupture for you?
In a way - yes.
Probably the rupture is more complex, as it involves a specific sense of self awareness.
Speaking in mythologies, the 'step out of Eden' as emergence of the human condition.
So everyone was vegan in Eden? No lions? No wolves? Predators are bad?

Which turns us into an ecological beast.
Amen to things shifting after the Great Flood. And amen to 'supremacy thinking' being at the root of most of our troubles.
