Based on what remains I find in my basement, if spiders had grown to about 200lbs in the stone age, we sure wouldn't be the dominant species of 2022. I'll bet the world would look completely different.

Why is a 200 lb spider worse than a 200 lb crocodile, lion, bear, wolf etc? They would be a nuisance at best. We overpowered much bigger and scarier beasts. These big hypothetical spiders would never have been a match to our elaborate communication/team work and tool building, even in the stone age.
