What animal is weaker than humans, lb per lb??

Seal???

most mammals have all the attributes of a human, but in more or lesser amounts, each being for that matter is kind of its own entity, different genetics and personal programming.

chimps hunt in packs. use tools. communicate with the sophistication of a foot ball team, get angry, fuxxck.

just watch them hunt on video.

duh.

academia of the last century, was psycho narcissistic and had to place man, on a pedestal and animals down the ladder. it is an infectious attitude that people love to buy into. once you buy in, then the research you do tells more a story about your blindness than anything. you will overlook a lot of stuff that is staring you square in the face.

so when they discover that a badger can use tools, they are surprised! then another animal is found to take care of its babies nicely and intelligently, and they are surprised again.

all the while, traditional peoples, they can see a lot. in america that tradition is long dead, or just a few remnants remain.

what if you assumed that your academics are a lot stupider and animals are a lot smarter.

man is weak sure. but not that weak if trained. and humans are very elastic.

animals should be vary wary of the special forces type individual. with weapons or not.

a real MMA fighter can take out pretty much any dog for example.

"At the dog park, the rottweiler grabbed onto Bas’ little fox terrier and started to attack it, so Bas booted the rottweiler in the face. The rottweiler got up, hair standing up, and charged Bas, so he lowkicked the dog and put it to sleep."

Even chimpanzees, our cousins from an ancestor way way back, have been observed making spears to stab and eat critters with! Don't tell me my upright-walking australopithecine forebears couldn't figure out how to make a pointed stick too.

If there is no fossil evidence, it's because they weren't putting sharp rocks on the end just yet. Our big brains developed almost entirely around the ingenious construction of sharp rocks.

This is why I love this site.

I'm going to be now....another day completed

Interesting stuff. Is it the sharp rock that gets fossilized? And in that case what does a fossilized rock look like?

Or is it the presence of a sharp rock that enables the rest of the spear to fossilize?

The rocks don't fossilize because they are already rocks. The sticks don't usually fossilize because they are made of wood. How could I possibly have confused you about that.

Our ancestors spent millions of years perfecting the manufacture and use of sharp rocks. Even the australopithecines had them, only AFAIK they didn't know how to attach them to sticks. Only a few thousand years ago when our brains were already huge did we finally progress beyond the sharp rocks stage. Once you can make advanced stone tools, you can do anything.

I don't see a link of him doing it just bragging about it

How did he boot the rotteiler in the face if it had his terrier in its mouth

Didn't you click on the video? It came out the rotweiler's azz.

How do gorillas build so much strength and muscle on an exclusively vegetarian diet?

Nothing missing in an exclusively vegetarian diet so why would that cause you to wonder?

Elephants and rhinos were also vegetarian last time I checked and they're pretty powerful.

Why would the terrier in the mouth interfere with his ability to boot the rottweiler in the face?

Flounder

Ground hogs. Very weak, slow, and fragile

Not true. Actually a woodcuck if cornered can be a very dangerous animal. Fortunately they choose to run rather than fight.
