[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 5207190, member: 20741"] Most? Not even [B]close[/B] my friend. You underestimate yourself.[B][COLOR=Orange] By a lot.[/COLOR] [/B] An adult male non-sissified human, is the dominant predator on earth for some very good reasons. 1 - We're big. DAMNED big. There are some other land predators larger than an adult male human, but not many. The great cats and bears (oh my). But looking at the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apex_predators"]list of Apex Predators[/URL], there are not many on there larger than us. Our dumber great primate cousins are admittedly FAR tougher one-on-one, and the gorilla is also bigger to boot. Until we add in some pointy sticks, my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl. Then we kick all their asses too. 2- Because we're smart. DAMNED Smart. Yes, that allows us to develop computers, nukes and bic lighters. But far more practically, it allowed us to develop and learn to use the most important weapon ever devised on planet earth: the spear. When the fight is between fingers and claws? Fingers powered by a brain win - because our claws (our spears) are longer. Give a healthy male a good 6 foot long spear with a sharp end? Your german shepperd does not stand a chance. Take the spear away? Provided the dog does not get the adult male by the throat - my money is still on the adult male human hunter. We're FAR stronger than any dog. Armed even with a knife, I'm not sure that result changes if it's a wolf (though longterm, I doubt either actually survives the fight after infection sets in). One on one? The Lion, tiger, and bear will probably win. Even then, with a good spear, training, and provided we are not surprised? That result is not a foregone conclusion against any one of those predators. Of course - we don't comes in ones and twos. When we show up to kick some ass, we bring friends and family (along with their pointed sticks). Which is why we wore tiger and bear skins for clothing and used to complain about how those creatures taste. We're WAY meaner than you give us credit for. There is a REASON you are sipping coffee and typing on a laptop. The bronze age was just the beginning of our victory lap. We WON this planet with sharpened sticks and muscle -- and a mighty big brain. [/QUOTE]
