MegaGatts posted:Kinda. Their ligaments attach further down their bones than ours do. If you think of ligaments as a lever you can see that the same force from a muscle contraction would cause a much more powerful reaction. Its the difference between opening a door at the hinges vs. The knob. Source: gently caress chimps, I hate them. This is a cool article: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2009/02/how_strong_is_a_chimpanzee.html quote:The suspicious claim seems to have originated in a flapper-era study conducted by a biologist named John Bauman. Poe's story of the scalp-pulling orangutan struck Bauman as being "grotesquely impossible." In 1923, he noted that every expert in the field believed apes were vastly stronger than humans—yet none had ever tried to prove it. So he packed up a device used to measure pull strength, called a dynamometer, and set out for the Bronx Zoo. Later studies did disprove being 5 times stronger than humans but they are much stronger than human for their size.

Pick posted:They're incredibly strong because their lifestyle equates to a nonstop workout. A human can also be extremely strong if it exists under those circumstances, but we generally don't. humans also used to be stronger but changed due to sedentary lifestyle

Bea Nanner posted:their tendons attach muscle to their bones in different places giving them more mechanical advantage than humans They also have longer muscle fibers than humans giving them a better strength/weight ratio.

Harald posted:yeah that's pretty true. and if you look at the hunting tactics of primitive tribes its a lot of following animals til they basically collapse from exhaustion and can be easily killed. humans are dicks. It also a combination of technology and also physical characteristics. For example being able to carry water during the hunt and also sweating to avoid overheating. The deer on the other hand eventually collapses from dehydration and heat exhaustion.

MegaGatts posted:A very well trained human being might be able to beat a chimp if he's really lucky and gets a good combination and knocks out the chimp. there is no way a human can fight a gorilla. no god drat way. Even if you catch the gorilla right on the button, their head and neck is so muscular you wouldn't create the torque necessary to cause any damage. Even if you could get close enough to eye gouge it, congrats, you will be torn apart by a one eyed gorilla. Gene Tunney is a dumb fucker Not to mention the chimp would be trying to yank your dick and balls off.

Grody posted:this should clear this up for you retards who think a human can beat a chimp, gorilla or whatever loving monkey This owns, basically humans only won over the stronger apes when they had improvised weapons or strength in numbers. All the other fights went to the apes since since such as heavier weight and higher muscle strength gave them a big advantage in "fair" fights
