Throughout history an average wild animal has had the ability to kill an average human being so how did we as a species not only survive but ended up on the top of the food chain?
In: Biology
We can make tools.
That’s about it. We’ve managed to overcome outside threats by engineering solutions to them. Regular bear attacks? Make pointy sticks to poke at them. Hostile tribe nearby? Hey guys, look at this cool new thing I call “rock slingshot.” Not enough water in an area? Dig a huge fuckoff trench from the nearest river, maybe even build a bridge for it, aka an aquaeduct. Need consistent food supply? We can build a fence and put these huge docile meat machines called cows inside.
Humanity’s edge has always been intelligent design and use of tools.
