Maybe. But maybe not for the reasons I originally thought. Thinking about it some more, we haven't exterminated gorillas, for example. But there are 7,000,000,000 humans and 100,000 gorillas. Evolution can't happen very fast with only 100k individuals. So, I'm still inclined to think any planet would result in one sapient species, but maybe not from hunting as much as simply virally overtaking a world.
