[QUOTE="DreamChaser, post: 1102702, member: 1190"] Humans are not average compared to all creatures. They are average compared to the humanoid races. You make many good points. On an evolutionary perspective, humans are at the top. There is not (currently) a more adaptable, resourceful, or resilient creature on earth. But, there is a difference between the racial capacity to do a thing and the ability. I am aware that humans can beat horses in long range races, but I know that I couldn't. This is a capacity I may have been born with with it is not one that I have developed. I think that they skill bonus and the bonus feat, along with no bonuses or penalties to abilities covers what you're talking about pretty well. And I have to point out that eating most meat raw is not a health risk if you are careful about it. (your connecting raw meat with the appendix raises some questions in my mind...I wonder if Inuits have a more developed appendix then; last I'd heard no one knew really what the thing was for) Certain meats (like pork) are always dangerous to humans but most, if fresh and well treated before eating are no more dangerous to a healthy adult than cooked food. I would not eat meat raw because I could not control the conditions. Who knows how long opportunistic bacterial have had time to jump on the meat while it was going from butchering, to packing, to shipping, to store. :eek: Anyway, humans are fine as they are...you just identified some of the things they already are but were never put in to words.
