![]() ![]() Planning and working with tools as a team is how we did it. One more thing, I know humans didn't reach the top of the food chain because of their physical abilities. I assure you that a crazy insane person could tear the face off an old woman just as brutally has a chimp. Is my point of view ridiculous? Why yes, but mainly because a wild animal is seen as a wild animal by the vast majority of people we don't know so we assume the worst and we take the few examples we have that validate this. Even if the chimp grabbed you and pummeled you, a fighter could do something with that hold and dislocate or break bones, choke the animal out, or find other pressure points. The fact is, however, A better than average human trained to push every pound of weight into 2 knuckles or heal, can do more damage. Maybe it's grip would allow it to do some damage, maybe a wild string would output a decent amount of damage. Just because it has double the strength of a man, doesn't mean it uses it. A monkey doesn't know or use it's own strength. A man who has been trained to deal with these situations for his whole life, however, can almost slow time down and know what to do based on the opponent's position. Chimps aren't as smart as us especially in pure defensive/offensive mode, their immediate problem solving skills probably turn to red just like any animal in that situation. The negatives, I believe, outweigh the positives. Their arms are like a mix between our legs/arms, which has positives and negatives. ![]() ![]() Chimps are really amazing at swinging through trees, but on land using their arms they look much more sloppy than a person with their movements. A human could still do the same if they had to (and probably would if they were in a fight to the death) rip for the face and other soft zones. Haven't you seen the youtube videos of guys swinging wildly in a fight only to be destroyed by the guy who gives him one quick straight uppercut to the chin? Wildness only helps the chimp because we already know a chimp wouldn't do things nearly as calculated as a human, therefore for them wild rage is the best answer. Saying that a wild animal would win because it's so wild is not enough reason to believe it would beat a calm fighter using all of his energy deliberately. A blow to the head would probably need to be stronger or at least much more correctly placed to hurt a chimp. They'd be able to grab a human before it grabs them. If a chimp got its grip on you, it'd be harder to make them let go, they could probably dislocate/break body parts easier if they were to get that grip and fling themselves around wildly. This along with other info I've gathered, I'd say these are some of the pros and cons for each side. I read the linked article about chimps being much stronger than humans, and it appears that as far as pulling a particular amount of weight, a chimp can pull about double than the average human. He also let the chimp attack him at the beginning, which is probably the most important part of the fight. The guy was totally defenseless, didn't tried to fight back in fact tried to do the exact opposite to calm the chimp down. So far the youtube videos such as the chimp attacking the wildlife guy haven't done that much to sway me. Glad to see this thread going well, it's my first off topic and my second total. ![]()
