how are chimps able to exert more force than us, humans, considering they are smaller in stature and weigh less?
In: 25
Humans and Chimps share a distant common ancestor but have over a very long time evolved entirely different traits. Chimps have retained the massive muscular strength that is best for a life in the trees. Our ancestor’s came down from the trees to walk upright on the savanna and evolved into the apex predator there thanks muscles and brains well suited to tool making due to muscles with extremely fine, precise muscular control.
No human will ever match a chimp pound for pound in strength, no chimp will ever be able knap a flint point or assemble a watch.
